Another successful year of A Level results
Students across Telford and Wrekin have been celebrating after a very successful year of study which has culminated in improved ‘A’ Level and Post 16 vocational results.
Early indicators suggest that a higher proportion of students have passed their ‘A’ Levels and other equivalent qualifications than in previous years, demonstrating that the hard work undertaken by staff and students has been rewarded.
At Newport Girls High School, 70% of students achieved passes at the top grades of A* - B grades, allowing them to secure places at their chosen universities with Adams Grammar School reporting an overall pass rate at A level of 99%.
Similar success stories are being repeated across the borough, with New College Telford, Abraham Darby Academy and Madeley Academy all reporting an increased proportion of the students achieving at least two passes at ‘A’ Level. At Holy Trinity Academy, students achieved a 95 per cejt pass rate.
Post 16 vocational performance was also strong at TCAT and Madeley Academy with both institutions achieving pass rates of 100% in a range of subjects and courses.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds, cabinet member for Education and Skills, said: “I welcome this year’s A Level and Post 16 vocational results and would like to congratulate all the students and staff for their achievements.”
Pupils who have got their A-Level results are able to benefit from support and assistance in relation to their next move from Telford & Wrekin Council’s Job Box.
