🧬LUCY LOVES LEARNING🔬
Huge congrats to former South Hunsley student, Lucy Gill, for securing her well-deserved place at the University of Newcastle to study Bio-medical Science.
With her exceptional dedication and hard work, Lucy has achieved a fantastic set of A level results - a triumphant trio of As in Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics!
But that's not all – Lucy's journey at Wyke Sixth Form College was more than the classroom. She immersed herself fully in the college experience, shining on stage in the college production and enthusiastically supporting all the enrichments Wyke had to offer.
On A level results day, Lucy shared her invaluable advice: "Do all your studies, but don't forget to enjoy yourself. There is so much going on, literally every week there is an event, it's so much fun." The Wyke Experience - balancing hard work with making memories is the key to a fulfilling academic journey.
So here's to Lucy – a shining example of passion, dedication, and the art of embracing every moment. The University of Newcastle is gaining an exceptional scholar, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things Lucy will achieve in the field of Bio-medical Science.

⭐OXBRIDGE EIGHT⭐
This year, Wyke has seen a superb eight students secure places at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, including former Kelvin Hall student Dyari Jarvis who is the "poster student" on University of Cambridge website welcoming new undergraduates.
All eyes were on Dyari as he opened his outstanding results of three A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics. These exceptional grades secured his place to study Medicine at The University of Cambridge. He said: “I really enjoyed the practical elements of my science A levels and I know that the scientific essays and foundations of anatomy have really helped me prepare for undergraduate study at one of the world’s most prestigious universities”.
😺IT ALWAYS HAPPENS FOR OUR VETS🐶
With 3 A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics former Malet Lambert student Alex Rispin has secured his place to study Veterinary Medicine at the University of Liverpool.
Alex came to Wyke with excellent GCSE grades which enabled him to join our Flyers programme, an enrichment group designed to support high achieving students. After collecting his results, Alex said: “I was also part of the Wyke Pre-Medical programme which really helped me write my personal statement and gave me the veterinary experience I needed for interview. Without the Pre-Medical programme, it would have been more difficult to secure my place”.
Alex was one of 15 students who secured a place on either Medicine, Veterinary Science or Dentistry, an outstanding achievement.

📺I HAVE A VOICE🌍✊
Watch an extract from a 20-minute television pilot program that showcases the incredible learning journey of A Level Politics students at Wyke Sixth Form College.
Produced by an independent company, this captivating documentary highlights their participation in an enriching course offered by "I Have a Voice," an external group that empowers young people to speak up on issues that matter to them and their communities.
Led by professionals from the political sphere, "I Have a Voice" equips these students with the tools and confidence to express their views constructively and respectfully. Through an immersive exploration of the UK's democratic processes, they gain a deep understanding of how their voices can be heard.
Teacher Pete Carpenter exclaimed, "It is an interesting watch! We enjoyed having the film crew here, and it provided an exciting enrichment project for the students." This documentary captures the transformative impact of "I Have a Voice" on personal growth, self-expression, and aspirations for future careers in politics and policymaking.
But it doesn't end there! "I Have a Voice" has seen the organic growth of a "Youth Ambassador Programme" where past students continue having their voices heard. They meet monthly and campaign almost daily via Slack, discussing global events and honing their skills. These youth ambassadors are making a real difference in their communities!
Now, the production company seeks funding to expand this exceptional project and showcase it at renowned film and television festivals.

🏆SAINT JEMMA⚽️
🚨 Big News Alert! 🚨 Former Wyke Sixth Form College star Jemma Purfield is making waves once again as she joins Southampton FC Women's team!
With years of top-flight experience, Jemma's mission is crystal clear - lead her new team into the Women's Super League!
Her time at Wyke was legendary, propelling the team to the National Cup final. After competing her qualifications, Jemma gained a scholarship to South Alabama Jaguars, USA, returning to the UK to sign for Liverpool FC. Now she's ready to take the Saints by storm!
But that's not all - Jemma's return to Southampton reunites her with some familiar faces! She'll be playing alongside Megan Wynne and Laura Rafferty, former teammates from Bristol City, and Molly Pike, who also joined from Leicester City!
Jemma couldn't be happier with her decision: "I'm really happy to have made the move! After speaking to people at the club and visiting, it was an obvious choice for me, and it just felt right. The vision of the football club - I think it's fantastic. I'm really excited to be a part of a club that's pushing to be at that next level and really backing us to go and do that."
Head of Women’s Football Marieanne Spacey-Cale is thrilled to have Jemma on board: "We are delighted to add Jemma Purfield to our squad. Having worked with Jemma previously at international level, I have tracked her progress and am now excited to see what she can bring to our team. A wholehearted player, Jemma exhibits strong leadership traits and demands high standards of herself and others on and off the pitch. Her WSL experience will be important for us as we start the season ahead."
We couldn't be prouder of Jemma's accomplishments, and we can't wait to see her shine in the Saints jersey! Go, Jemma!

DRAWING INSPIRATION
🎨 Share Alice Kay-Woods remarkable A Level Fine Art exam piece, which draws inspiration from Ray Bradbury's evocative poem, "There Will Come Soft Rains".
Alice's painting captures the delicate interplay between the natural world and the remnants of human existence. It invites contemplation—a scene where nature reclaims its space amidst the remnants of a forgotten home. The artwork showcases the eerie beauty of a world untouched by humanity, serving as a poignant reminder of our place.
Looking ahead, Alice has exciting plans for the future. In September, she will embark on a degree at Lancaster University, pursuing her passion for Fine Art and Creative Writing. This opportunity allows her to merge her two great loves—writing and painting.

INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE
🎓 From online business entrepreneur to landing a prestigious apprenticeship at the Bank of America, John Walker's academic journey is nothing short of inspiring! 🚀
During his time at Wyke, John discovered a passion for investment banking after trading stocks and crypto during lockdown. Not only did he find it fascinating, but he also proved himself as a profitable trader. With a solid foundation in business, John's transition to financial markets was a natural progression, further fuelled by his entrepreneurial ventures, such as starting an online business at just 13 years old.
John's determination and early development of crucial skills, including communication, formal writing, and business acumen, set him on a strong footing. Recognizing the importance of work experience, he secured a spot in EY's Smart Futures program, impressing interviewers with his skills and commercial awareness gained through investing. As an Ambassador for EY Foundation, John participated in projects tackling social mobility and diversity, including a prestigious Diversity and Inclusion panel with top CEOs.
With his sights set on investment banking, John researched various routes and decided that university wasn't the right path for him. Instead, he aimed to gain four years of experience while achieving a degree. John sent out countless applications to renowned banks and, after navigating rigorous assessment processes, successfully secured a higher apprenticeship at the Bank of America.
Being the first-ever Global Markets Apprentice at the Bank of America is a remarkable achievement for John. He'll be working alongside established investment bankers for four days a week while pursuing a degree in Applied Finance at Exeter's Streatham Campus one day a week. Upon completion, John will graduate with a degree in Applied Finance, along with Level 4 and Level 6 investment-related qualifications, making him a fully qualified investment banker.
John's journey is a testament to doing what you love, perseverance, and seizing opportunities. We can't wait to see him thrive in his role at Bank of America and continue making waves in the finance industry. Congratulations, John! 🎉
