Chris Mitchell, ESA Principal, commented, “We are certainly proud of the outcomes our students have achieved, but we are even more impressed by who they have become and who they have shown themselves to be. Many of our students have come to us from unsuccessful educational experiences and they have found their voice, developed confidence studying a creative specialism that they love. They have developed independence and resilience. We love them, we’re proud of them and we can’t wait to see what they go on to create and all the contributions they will make to our shared future.”
