It was wonderful to spend the morning celebrating with our students and their families and sharing in their excitement as they prepare to take their next steps to their first-choice colleges and courses.

“This has been a truly remarkable year group. They joined us during the challenging period of the Covid-19 pandemic and have shown exceptional resilience, determination and commitment throughout their time at Colne Primet Academy. Alongside their academic achievements, they have made a significant contribution to school life through their involvement in extra-curricular activities, leadership opportunities and the wider community.

“We are incredibly proud of everything they have achieved and wish them every success as they continue their educational journeys. We look forward to welcoming them back in the autumn term to celebrate their achievements once again at our annual Star Awards."
