Celebrating the Class of 2025

GCSE results day at Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School and Sixth Form

“Today is the biggest day of the summer for all of our students who sat their national exams just a few months ago. The day when each of them plot their next steps in their learning journey. 

It is always a very emotional day not just for the students but for their families and of course for us as teachers. These students have been with us for the past five years and we care very much for each and every one of them. I’m personally looking forward to welcoming them all into school today. 

Staff will be on hand to help and guide students to make their decisions about what next and we hope that a large number of them will sign up to our sixth form college where we offer a wide range of academic A levels alongside vocational qualifications. Our college results last week clearly demonstrated a really strong set of outcomes for students who are able to access a very successful blended curriculum offer as a pathway to university, apprenticeship or employment.

We also need today to think about the class of 2025 and their experience of the Covid pandemic which arguably affected this year group more than any others. Their experience of the transition between primary and secondary school then onto year eight was very different. A once in a century experience! Their resilience and determination is outstanding and we hope that every single one of them finds time to celebrate today.

So congratulations to the class of 2025. We are immensely proud of every single one of you”
