Two St Mary’s 6th Formers Secure Amazing Apprenticeships in Accounting

The final year 13 A-Level and Level 3 BTEC grades will be released on 15th August 2024 however we are already celebrating the amazing success of two of our outstanding students who have secured themselves apprenticeships with the accomplished Thickbroom Chartered Accountants which they start in August. Thickbroom stated “We look forward to welcoming our new apprenticeship cohort, which this year includes two students from St Mary’s C of E High School sixth form. This was after a finance career talk given by one of our current apprentices at the school as part of their career support program. Our apprenticeship course is a proven next level of learning for school leavers which provides work-based learning in a supportive environment. We’re confident that by having each other, these St Mary’s students will enjoy their apprenticeship journey even more.

Our students Jayde and Elina confirmed “we are looking forward to gaining new knowledge and experience within the accounting industry and the insights of how it all works. Choosing business as a BTEC Level 3 helped us build a foundation of basic understanding, to which we can now grow and develop further. Within our business lessons in year 12 and 13 we covered a variety of accounting skills and tasks such as; cash flow, payrolls, invoices and liquidity ratios. We can’t wait to move on to this next chapter in our lives to start our accounting career and gain our level 4 MAAT and then further progress to level 7 chartered accountants.”

After studying a range of subjects from Business, Law and Fine Art our students have also participated in a range of additional super curriculum activities including successfully passing an additional qualification from the London Institute of Business and Finance (LIBF) Certificate in Financial Education and participating in the Young Enterprise Company Programme. We wish them both every success in the future and look forward to hearing about their progress. Congratulations Jayde and Elina.
