GCSE Results 2023

Governors, staff and students have been celebrating at Medina College today as students received their GCSE results. Despite starting their GCSE courses at the height of the pandemic, students have demonstrated their resilience, dedication and commitment to their studies and they should all feel very proud of their achievements.

Governors would like to pay tribute to the hard work and determination of teaching and support staff who have provided outstanding support to students.

The majority of students are remaining within the Isle of Wight Education Federation community, by moving on to take A Level and vocational Level 3 courses at The Island VI Form. However, students are also progressing into a range of apprenticeships and other further education studies both on and off the Island.

Matthew Parr-Burman, Executive Headteacher for the Isle of Wight Education Federation and Head of School for Medina College, said “I am extremely proud of our students; it has been a pleasure to see them opening their results today. Their hard work has paid off and they leave us with skills and qualities that will stand them in good stead for their next steps. My thanks go to the staff and parents for their unwavering support. I wish each and every student all the best for the future.”

If any year 11 students across the Island are undecided about their next step, it is not too late to join the Island VI Form. Students at The Island VI Form thrive in an environment that is solely focused on Post-16 teaching and learning, making it the perfect stepping stone between school and university, apprenticeship or the world of work.

A Level Results 2023

Once again, students and staff at The Island VI Form are celebrating a fantastic set of A level results. We are delighted to share that the vast majority of students have secured the results required for their first choice universities. We are also seeing several students following other exciting routes into their chosen career paths, pursuing higher level apprenticeships and job-specific training opportunities.

We have seen some fantastic individual results this year in the students’ A level and BTEC studies with some gaining straight A grades or double distinctions. The governors and staff are all incredibly proud of the students who have worked hard over the past two years and shown immense dedication to gain the results that they truly deserve.

Dave Mumford, Head of the Island VI Form said “I am delighted with the results today and am extremely proud of the students. It has been a pleasure to see them opening their results and to congratulate them on their success. We have over 150 young people leaving us to pursue a vast range of courses across the country, many at top Russell Group universities. As always, my thanks go to the staff and parents who have supported the students throughout their journey with us. We are all excited to see where their next steps will take them.”

The Island VI Form continues to support students to thrive in an environment that is solely focused on Post-16 teaching and learning. It is an excellent stepping stone between school and university, apprenticeship or the world of work.
