Student Success

Student Success

We celebrate all our student’s achievements and are pleased to say that our students also had considerable success at gaining highly competitive apprenticeships. Degree Apprenticeships are emerging.

Student Apprenticeships Include:

Heathrow

TFL

Government

These students fought off hundreds or even thousands of other applicants.

One student also secured excellent A Level results and she will now be joining the RAF. Another student has secured a place with the Metropolitan Police.

We want you to have a very successful two

years here at Haydon.

– GCSE to A-Level is a very significant jump

– Often students who have been used to 7’s, 8’s and 9’s

at GCSE find getting a ‘D’ or an ‘E’ in their first

assessment discouraging.

– Expect to find the courses hard –students are now

studying at an Advanced Level and, as such, more

study and work is required to excel.
