Superstar A Level students achieve highest ever results
A huge congratulations goes out to the A Level class of 2013 who have achieved record results this summer. These are well deserved results for a year group who have worked extremely hard over the last two years to secure their places at university, college or employment.
- 36% of all A Levels are graded at A and A* (14% increase from 2012).
- 64% of all A Levels are graded at A* to B. This is the main measure of attainment that is used to judge the college and shows an increase of 18% from 2012.
- 83% of all grades were awarded at A*-C (increase from 77% in 2012).
- 100% A* to E
It is impossible to mention all students and we apologise for only listing some of the top performers. All students completing A Levels do extremely well as the qualifications are challenging and hard to achieve. Some of our highest performing students include:
- Katie Severn with 4 A* (University of Nottingham).
- Dominic Hall with 4 A* (University of Cambridge)
- Sarah Bedder with 3 Distinction* (Leeds Met University)
- Alex Prowse with 3 A* (University of Sheffield)
- Rebecca Broad with 3A*, 2A and 1B (University of Exeter)
- Michael Robinson with 2A* and 1A (University of Manchester)
- Vanessa Tsai with 2A* and 2A (University of Central London)
- Kamran Obhi with 2A* and 1B (University of Warwick)
We wish all of our A Level students all the best for the future.
