- Jacob achieved an A* and 2 As and will study English Language and Literature at the University of Oxford.
- Frances achieved an A* and two As and will study Chemistry at the University of Bath.
- Evan achieved an A* and two As and will study Economics at the University of Bristol.
- Katie achieved two As and a B and will study English Literature at the University of Sheffield.

Helen Buttery, Headteacher of Ridgeway School, said: ‘We are exceptionally proud of all of our students and grateful to our families for their unswerving support and trust.

"I would also like to thank all of our staff for their dedication to our students, who move on to a range of exciting opportunities. We will always be glad to have been a part of creating the futures they richly deserve.’

Dr. Dan Nicholls, CEO at The White Horse Federation, said: “Congratulations to all our students! We are incredibly proud of the commitment you have shown as well as everything you have achieved.

“I want to personally thank colleagues for the unwavering support they give our students every day, and for their collective commitment to inspiring lives with greater opportunity and choice.

“A huge thank you also to all the parents and carers for their continued support throughout the years. We can’t wait to see what our young people go on to achieve.”
