Successful year of A Level results
Students across Telford and Wrekin have been celebrating after receiving their A level results today.
Early indicators suggest that an even 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.
Thomas Telford again achieved a 100% pass rate with an outstanding 42% of students receiving A*- A grades. Holy Trinity Academy has also seen a 100% pass rate with the top performer achieving 3 A* grades.
Similar success stories have been repeated across the borough, with Haberdasher Adams Grammar achieving a 99% pass rate with 68% of students receiving A*-B grades, an 8% increase on last year’s results.
Newport Girls High School has also seen a 98% pass rate with 40 students achieving A*-B grades and some particularly notable achievements in Fine Arts, English and Humanities.
Abraham Darby Academy is delighted with its success this year with an improved level of A*-B grades and an improved average A level grade.
There has been continued success for Madeley Academy too, having maintained the excellent progress it achieved last year with all students going on to University or employment opportunities.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds, cabinet member for Education, Employment and Lifelong Learning, said: “I am delighted for all of our students who have achieved success in their results this year. Schools in Telford can be justly proud of their achievements and it is a tribute to both staff and students that we have seen such good results.
“I would like to wish our students every success in their future chosen pathway, whether this is University, training or employment.”
