STUDENTS, staff and parents at Collegiate are celebrating an excellent set of A-level, BTEC and CTEC examination results.
The vast majority of Collegiate Year 13s have secured the grades they need to access their next educational or professional step, having secured the necessary examination results to access their chosen university courses or degree-level apprenticeships.
Headline figures include:
• 40% of A Level grades awarded at A/A*
• 70% of A Level grades awarded at A*/B
• 88% of CTEC and BTEC grades awarded at Starred Distinction / Distinction (the equivalent of A*/A at A Level)
• 20 students (29% of the cohort) achieved the equivalent of AAA or better
• 93% of applicants secured their first or second choice university course or apprenticeship
Head Jeremy McCullough said: “Our lovely, grounded students have worked very hard, and have been brilliantly supported by their teachers and their parents. They have earned fantastic results that will see the vast majority of them move on to their first or second choice university or apprenticeship but they have achieved so much more than this in their time at Collegiate.
“This cohort have contributed so much to the life of the school, in so many different ways, that we have to remind ourselves that there is more to their school careers than these results, no matter how good they are. Indeed, we firmly believe that the co-curricular engagement of our young people is key to the success they have in their examinations. I am confident that they will also go on to be valuable and valued members of their communities.”
