Anas, who achieved an A* in English, said:
“I’m going to study economics and finance at Bristol. I was worried this morning but when I checked UCAS and saw I had got into Bristol I felt so happy. Then when I realised I’d got an A* in English, I couldn’t believe it”.
Max, who achieved A* A B in psychology, sociology and business at Chelsea Academy is going to begin a degree apprenticeship in quantity surveying with the Hill Group. Max said: “I am part of a charity called the Construction Youth Trust through my school, and they helped me with the interview process and the application.
