Digitech students have a proud role to play

Students at Digitech Studio School in Warmley are celebrating excellent achievements by its students in their post-16 qualifications.

More than 80 students achieved the highest possible grades across Digitech’s specialist courses in art, media, esports, music, acting and sport, while over half of its Year 13 cohort achieved a distinction grade or higher.

The school works in partnership with Boomsatsuma, Robins Foundation and Bristol School of Acting to support young people aged 16 to 18.

Many of the youngsters are now off to university courses, higher-level apprenticeships and other exciting opportunities within their chosen fields.

Digitech Principal Chris Ballard said: “These exceptional results reflect the commitment and creativity of our students and reinforce the strength of our unique industry-focused curriculum. We are immensely proud of all of our graduating year 13 students and their achievements.

“We wish to congratulate all of our students and look forward to seeing the impact they make in their chosen industries in the years ahead.”

Tom Sowden, Boomsatsuma director of education, said: “Results Day reflects the creativity, commitment and resilience our students have shown, as well as the confidence they’ve built through real creative industry experiences. 

“At Boomsatsuma, we want every student to leave with the skills, ambition and belief to shape their future and take their next step.”

Charlotte Plumb, Robins Foundation head of education, said: “Over 80% of our Level 3 cohort have achieved or exceeded their target grades, which is a brilliant reflection of their hard work, perseverance, and dedication. While their results are a fantastic achievement, we are equally proud of the personal growth and development we have seen from them all over the past two years.”

Stuart Wood, Bristol School of Acting head of school, said: “To see so many securing places on drama school and university courses, alongside the range of other exciting destinations, is incredibly rewarding. The grades are fantastic, 94% distinction or distinction star, but what makes us most proud is seeing these young people leave with confidence and ambition.”
