“These are excellent results and we are all very proud of the young people at Tallis who now have the qualifications they need to continue their education and training. None of this would have happened without the hard work and dedication of the students themselves, combined with the unstinting support they’ve had from the teaching and support staff at Tallis. Congratulations to the students who should all be very proud of their achievements. We are looking forward to welcoming the majority of these students back into the highly successful Sixth Form at Tallis, alongside the many students from other schools who have chosen to come here for their Post 16 studies.” |
