Happiness looks like this.
Not just because of the grades, although A*, A*, A, including 100% on her English and RS papers, is a fairly good excuse. It's the moment itself. That's Lottie, and that's Michael, her tutor, just as happy as she is. Maybe happier.
This is what makes Collingham special. Not facilities or league tables but the relationships between people. It's a deeply human place, where tutors and students build the kind of bond that means results day isn't just about a grade. It's personal, for both of them.
We're also smiling about the news of Harry, A*, A*, A*, off to medical school. And to one of our students who's off to art school to study Set Design. She'll spend the next few years building the worlds that other people's stories get told in.
Whether it's a degree at Nottingham, Oxford, King's, Exeter, Bristol, Sussex, Leeds, Edinburgh, UAL, Goldsmiths, York, Newcastle, Manchester, Bournemouth, Kingston, UCL, Royal Holloway, Durham or studying in the US or Europe or taking an Apprencticeship, we know each destination or pathway is about helping individuals find their the future that's right for them personally. We're so proud of each and every one.
Above all, we know that when a student believes in their own ability and finds their fit, wonderful things can happen, whatever shape that takes. And it helps enormously to have someone in your corner who believes it firstt. Congratulations to our 2026 Leavers - and of course, to the tutors who helped them.
And for anyone whose week has taken a different turn, a change of direction, a different course, a different city, a path you hadn't planned on, that takes just as much nerve. We're here for that too.
