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 Rida from Swindon who has secured a place at the University of the West of England (UWE) to study Business and Marketing.

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!

"It’s incredible to come full circle. Villiers Park supported me when I needed it most, and now I have the privilege of helping to make those same opportunities available to others.”

"Whenever we as young people feel inadequate, or like we don't fit in, we shouldn't strive to fit in, but we should strive to embrace our differences. I'm so grateful to Villiers Park for giving me this opportunity because I feel like I've gained so much knowledge"

"T he Charity Commission reported in 2017 that 92% of trustees are white, two-thirds are male and the average age is between 55-64 years old, so I’m very pleased to be moving the needle on that. I can’t wait to see what the next generation of Future Leaders achieves. "

" Villiers Park had a monumental role in helping me discover and refine my own capabilities that in turn enabled me to succeed in my professional career. I can't think of any other thing that had such an impact on my life, for which I am forever grateful. "

" At secondary school, mentoring was really important to me. It helped to talk about my academic aspirations and worries with a professional, but someone unconnected to school. It was also comforting to hear that my worries weren’t unique! "

"At the moment I'm working as a trainee GP [...] and simply without Villiers Park I don't think I probably would have got there."

At Villiers Park, we believe every young person deserves the chance to imagine and realise their possible selves. Thanks to Sopra Steria, our Principal Partner, more students from under-represented backgrounds are able to seize exciting opportunities, access key financial support and develop skills to help shape their futures.
