‘COULDN’T BE PROUDER’: Hymers College headmaster Justin Stanley

Many of the students are now heading off to university, including at the elite Russell Group, whilst others are embarking on exciting pathways beyond the traditional university route, such as highly coveted apprenticeships at leading businesses.

Hymers headmaster Justin Stanley said: “I couldn’t be prouder of our students and what they’ve achieved.

“Each of them will now follow their own path but they all have in common high aspirations. They understand the value of working hard in a supportive environment, with expert subject teachers and highly motivated peers to help them achieve their goals. 

“They’ve set their sights high – as they should – and I look forward to following their continued successes.

“Whatever the next stage of their educational or career pathway looks like, we want them to be happy, to be purposeful, and to be fulfilled.

“I know they will go out into the world to do great things, and to give back and make their communities stronger, better places.”
