Many congratulations to students from Braintree Sixth Form who have received their A Level results this morning. Almost every student has completed their studies with grades that will secure a place in higher education if that is what they wish.

Introducing the new members of the Braintree Sixth Form Student Council. They have formed a strong group of 15 members including a representative from each tutor group.
