Workington Academy has bid goodbye to some of its longest serving students at their official leaving assembly.

Many of the teenage students will have finished their GCSE exams on June 21 and can now look forward to a well-deserved summer break, before potentially returning to school for sixth form education in September.

On Facebook, Workington Academy wrote: "It was a proud but bittersweet day yesterday at Workington Academy's Leavers' Assembly 2024!
