A spokesperson for the college said: “We are so proud of all our students today. Whatever grade they have been awarded, in whichever subject, we know that the class of 2020 will go on to do great things in this world. Through these testing times, they have developed the skills and strategies to thrive. The world surely needs this group of intelligent, resilient, creative, thoughtful, people. We can’t wait to see what they all do next.”

Ruth Laslett, head of visual and performing arts, said: “I am thrilled to see Kes will be able to follow her dream of studying BA Hons in fine art at Oxford University. She has shown 100 per cent commitment to her studies and has risen to the creative challenges presented by the extended diploma in art and design course here at Long Road.
“Throughout the course she was able to experiment and play with ideas and concepts, which were often informed by her exploration of her own identity and family. Her well deserved success has reconfirmed that choosing a vocational qualification in Art and Design can lead to amazing opportunities. Well done to Kes, it was an absolute pleasure to teach you and it inspires me to see you achieve so highly.”
