Principal Kim Clifford said: “We are delighted that once again students from the Swindon area have done so well at Cirencester. These are the results you would expect from an outstanding Sixth Form College, I am delighted that all the big STEM subjects shone and that we are not only able to offer a great choice but also quality across our provision. A few weeks ago we held an Awards Ceremony to recognise our best vocational results. We want to be the aspirational Sixth Form of choice. This performance shows we are not unrealistic in this aim and our students and prospective students can be confident in success at Cirencester College.”
