Mark Guest, Headteacher, commented: “We are immensely proud of all our students. This cohort of students were in Year 7 when the Covid pandemic struck, but they have shown great resilience and a passion to succeed.

"These results are a fitting testament to their hard work, commitment and the excellent teaching they have received throughout their time at Sir William Robertson.

"I am delighted that we are welcoming so many of this year group back into our Sixth Form – great things lay ahead for them.’

“Our students have overwhelmingly secured the grades required to pursue their chosen next steps, with many choosing to continue their education at SWRA’s flourishing Sixth Form.”

The school is driven by the aim to ASPIRE, and this ethos directs the work of all staff and pupils. In recent years it has become one of the most sought-after schools in Lincolnshire, with parents recognising the benefits of choosing a very successful school with superb pastoral care in a safe, rural setting. The continued growth and success of the Sixth Form means that parents are confident that their children will achieve well as they embark upon their post-16 education.
