Celebrating our Future Leaders!

15.08.2024

Congratulations to all of our Futures Leaders on Results Day! 

Today marks a significant milestone in the lives of young people across the country. We have worked with many of our Future Leaders throughout their GCSEs and into A Level studies. It is a huge privilege to be able to see the brilliant achievements, growth in confidence and self-belief during this time. So, from the whole team at Villiers Park, we wish all of our Future Leaders, and young people across the country, our congratulations on your amazing achievements. 

Villiers Park Chief Executive, Gaby Sumner said: 

“Congratulations to all A-Level students on your incredible achievements. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of our Future Leaders at celebration events earlier this year, so I have seen how hard-working and enthusiastic you have all been. Regardless of the results, your dedication and passion has been truly remarkable.” 

We are thrilled to share a few of the brilliant achievements of our Future Leaders who will be heading to university:

Congratulations to Abigail from our Tyneside hub who has confirmed her offer from Durham to study Law.

We also have a Future Leader who will be studying Sports Coaching at Liverpool John Moores University, another heading to the University of Gloucestershire to study Zoology, and Reece, who will be going into a Project Management and Digital Solutions apprenticeship. 

For many this day will bring the confirmation of grades they needed to follow their chosen pathway directly. However, others are experiencing unexpected outcomes and we want you to know that your hard work does not go unrecognised, and that the Villiers Park team are here to support you to discover new opportunities, or new routes to reach your ambitions. 

Remember that our online learning platform Launchpad is still available to Future Leaders leaving the programme. We will be keeping it up to date with resources for you moving into your next stage of education, an apprenticeship and more!
