Yesterday, the second half of our year 13 students received their exam results. At Â鶹´«Ã½, students can choose to study A Levels or International Baccalaureate, meaning a wide range and combination of subjects is on offer. Across IB results (issued in May), and A Levels yesterday, 77% of all grades were A* to B (7 to 5 at IB). This is a phenomenal achievement and testament to the triad of students’ dedication to succeed, committed staff, and the support you provide as parents.
At the time of writing this, 92% of students have achieved their first or insurance choice of university. Popular degree courses include medicine, engineering, business and economics, sciences, and geography, whilst some students will be pursuing different pathways, including Alex Nicholls who has secured a competitive apprenticeship with Airbus.
Mr Lawrence was delighted with his final cohort’s achievements and commented, ‘With 77% of students achieving A* to B – or equivalent – we are delighted they’ve been rewarded for their hard work over the last 2 years and are set for the next stages in their lives’.
For those who have not made the grade, please don’t panic; get in touch with the sixth-form staff who can support you with remarks, retakes or finding courses through clearing.
If you are reading this as a year 13 family, this may well be the end of your formal relationship with Â鶹´«Ã½. However, please do stay in touch, and remember that you will always be welcome at any of our community events, from the school musical to the old grammarians dinner.
Congratulations to all our sixth formers and good luck for your bright futures!
Dr James Hunt
