Today we are celebrating another excellent set of A level results!
The average grade has risen from last year and is B-. We are thrilled that all students received the grades necessary to make their next step into further education, an apprenticeship or employment.
Some notable examples are Charlotte L who achieved A*s in chemistry and history and an A in maths who will now read chemistry at Birmingham University. Katy P secured an A in biology and Bs in chemistry and maths and will be studying biosciences at Durham University. Elisabeth W is moving north to the University of the Highland and Islands to study marine science after attaining As in biology and geography and a C in chemistry. Bryony S will start studying philosophy, psychology and scientific thought in September at the University of Leeds after obtaining As in history and sociology and a B in English language.
Dr Henderson, Head of Sixth Form said:
"I am incredibly proud of every one of our students. The Class of 2026 have achieved excellent grades, opening the door to a wide range of prestigious destinations and exciting opportunities. Behind every grade is also an individual story of achievement, resilience and personal growth. Our students have faced their own challenges and overcome obstacles that have helped shape them into the young people they are today. Their results enable them to take the next step in their journey, but those grades only tell part of the story. They do not reflect how much our students have grown, developed and progressed as individuals over the past two years.
It is a great privilege to watch students grow from fresh faced Year 7 students to accomplished young adults and I could not be prouder of them. They are a credit to their families, our community and themselves.”
