Invictus Education Trust students, staff, governors and trustees are celebrating our Year 11 students’ well-deserved 2021 results. They demonstrate that despite the disruption and challenges the last two years have inevitably brought us, we have been relentless in our focus, drive and determination to succeed, in order to improve the life chances and opportunities of the students we serve. As a multi academy trust, our students’ results represent their resilience and their overall truly incredible work and attitude.
The fantastic results of our Year 11 students also demonstrate the quality of the remote learning our staff and schools provided, even throughout the first national lockdown. Our staff and students switched seamlessly immediately to online learning, one of the first multi academy trusts to do this nationally, to ensure our students’ education remained protected.
Due to this outstanding provision, we are proud that our Year 11 students are now moving onto further education, employment or training, with many of them securing a place in our Invictus Sixth Form.
Tony Bowles, CEO of Invictus Education Trust: I would like to thank all of the staff, students and their parents and carers, who have worked together as a team throughout to achieve these well-deserved results under the most challenging of circumstances. Congratulations to you all on your hard-earned success. We are delighted that many of our students will return to us in September as they continue their studies with us at Invictus Sixth Form and look forward to their future successes.
