GCSE Results Day

What a fabulous & very busy day @OrielHighSchool as our Y11 students collected their GCSE & Vocational results. It’s now all about future pathways & whatever your next steps may be, know that we are so proud of you all & your achievements. 💜👏💜 #ResultsDay2024 #ProudToBePurple

Sixth Form Results Day

We’re so very proud of all of our Year 13 students for everything that each & every one of them has achieved. Results days, for us, allow us to celebrate our students accomplishments but also, and perhaps more importantly, look forward to their exciting next steps and future challenges. Never has there been a wider and more exciting range of pathways lying ahead for our Y13 students than this year, including…………

Some incredibly competitive degree level apprenticeships for example with The Bank of England, Thales and RSA Insurance.

A huge range of university pathways studying amongst other things; Medicine, Veterinary, Physics with Astronomy, Politics & International Relations, Psychology & Neuroscience, Primary teaching, Film & English Literature, Law, Criminology, History, Business, Maths and Economics, Acting, and Wildlife Media to name just a few. 

…… and as we say goodbye to this year’s Y13s it’s nice to give a mention to some of the universities they will be joining, which this year include; Brighton and Sussex Medical School, The University of East Anglia, The University of Chichester, The Royal Veterinary College in London, The University of Sussex, The University of Surrey, Durham University, Cardiff University, The University of Kent, Royal Holloway, University of London, Hartpury University, The University of Portsmouth, Swansea University and The University of Westminster to name just some.

……. and of course, naturally, some of our students are heading straight into the workplace or taking gap years to travel and explore the world of opportunity on offer. 

We wish every one of our students good luck for their next steps, whatever they might be, and we look forward to hearing all about their future achievements. 💜 #NextSteps #ResultsDay2024 #BrightFuturesAwait #ProudToBePurple

Maths Trip to Italy

Some members of the maths department and sixth form maths students have been exploring some amazing mathematical sights during May half term in Italy. From angles of construction at the Leaning Tower of Pisa to an exploration of the works of the incredible Polymath Leonardo Da Vinci in Florence. They have also been exploring more sights in this beautiful city. From the Galileo Museum to the climb up Giotto’s tower for an amazing view of Florence. Lots of maths, science, architecture and engineering in action!
