‘I want to be an author. My favourite author is Christopher Palin who wrote the Inheritance Series. He started writing it when he was 15. If you are on a roll when you are writing something it doesn’t matter what age you are. I have written stories already, I wouldn’t call them amazing but I am happy with where I have started. I like adventure and have read of lot of fantasy.

‘At CTS if you need something the teachers will absolutely be there for you, which is great. As soon as I walked out of the results room all my English teachers were there cheering me on!’

 

Kai Power was awarded an 8 in maths, along with a 7 in computer science.

He said: ‘I am staying on to do maths, further maths, physics and computer science. CTS has been a good school and is really good for the technical side of everything.  I did loads of revision to prepare for these exams. I would tell students preparing for exams don’t stress and to take your time.’

 

James Boycott achieved an 8 in maths along with a range of other qualifications. He said: ‘ I am going to Northampton College to do a level 3 sports course which is equivalent to A Levels so I can still go to university, which is what I am looking to do. I am keeping my options open at the moment but I want to do something around sport. I worked really hard for my maths and was confident that I had passed most of my subjects.’

 

Well done to Jak Noble and Joe McHugh, who are both planning to be carpenters.

Jak has secured a carpentry apprenticeship He said: ‘I am most pleased about my 5 in maths, which is a strong pass. I am going to do an apprenticeship as it is more hands on work and carpentry interests me.’
