Headteacher Neil Wallace said, “We are delighted with our best set of A Level results since the pandemic, a fair reflection of the commitment shown by this terrific cohort of young people over the last 2 years. It is great to see the highest percentage of top grades A*-B, the highest overall pass rate and the highest average points score per student being achieved.

Our staff have worked tirelessly to ensure so many of our students are able to progress onto further education and study. The overwhelming majority of young people have got the grades they need to progress to a range of exciting destinations. A Levels and Level 3 qualifications are particularly demanding, requiring extensive knowledge, skill and application. Students should be proud of what they have achieved.

Congratulations to Josh Hall, Will Baldrey, Hannah Pryor, Luke Robinson, Jude Bennett, Alex Allen and Ben Farrimond amongst others, whose grades showed they made the most progress from GCSE.

Also, congratulations to our highest achieving students Alana King, Jacob Biles, Jacob Fidler, Millie Nicholson, Maddie Cummins, Will Baldrey, Megan Terry, Josh O’Brien and others.

We wish everyone the very best, whether they are going to university, a higher-level apprenticeship, employment or taking a gap year. Equally, we are all mindful that individuals are not defined by the grade they achieve. The future remains theirs to shape by their own efforts and choices going forwards.”

The courses and destinations the students leave us to go to are excitingly diverse from Human, Social & Political Science at Cambridge, Chemistry at Bristol, Durham and Sheffield, Psychology at Exeter, Chemical Engineering at Birmingham, Economics at Nottingham, English Language at Swansea, Architecture at Universities of London and Portsmouth, Theatre & Performance at Warwick to Primary Education and Speech & Language at Birmingham City, Occupational Therapy at Bournemouth, Real Estate at Bristol UWE, Aviation Management with Commercial Pilot Training at Buckinghamshire New University, Filmmaking at Manchester Met and Fashion Buying with Design at De Montfort to name but just a few.

Not all our students are going to university. Some have been delighted to accept graduate apprenticeship offers and will be starting at companies including Mott MacDonald, Cooper Parry and Greencore. 

As Helen Waldram-Tingling, our Careers Leader commented, "We've seen a great selection and variation of university courses amongst our Year 13 leavers, alongside some fantastic successes with degree apprenticeships and all of our students should all be proud of their effort towards these exams."

Not all are starting university or an apprenticeship this autumn, some are taking a GAP year with plans afoot to travel the world before returning next year.

Whatever they do, we wish them the very best of luck and ask that they keep in touch.
