After collecting her results, Sophie Holland, 18, of Gipsey Bridge, spoke to The Standard about her next step.

Sophie has accepted a place at Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, to study Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status, as she pursues a career in education.

“I’ve wanted to be a teacher for as long as I’ve understood what that was,” she said.

She said she was ‘passionate about starting children on the path towards great education’, and added: “I hope I can help them achieve their dreams, as so many teachers have helped me on the way to mine!”
