“This particular cohort, our last at LSA following the decision to close the sixth form, have been an excellent advert for our school and we clearly wish them all the very best of luck at university.”
Mr Hall said:”The students have worked so hard for their grades and have been part of an excellent provision.
“While knowing these were our last post-16 students, they have contributed to school life brilliantly and have been a joy to work with.“

Will, from St Annes, who is to study mechanical engineering at Lancaster University, said: “I have had a great time at the school.
“The continuity from the first five years into sixth form was an important feature for me and it will be strange to think of it without a sixth form. It’s the end of an era.”
