The high-achieving students and staff at Cowes Enterprise College, located on Crossfield Avenue and part of the Ormiston Academies Trust (OAT), are celebrating after receiving their A-level grades today.
The Academy is pleased to announce a year of fantastic results for students, despite the challenges of the pandemic.
Standout individual achievements
While all pupils have done well, there are some standout individual achievements. These include:
- Georgie Price, who received As in Physics, Chemistry and Biology as well as an A* in her EPQ, has secured a place at Sheffield University to study medicine.
- Thomas Prince, who received an A* in Biology, an A* in Geography and an A in Maths, has successfully achieved a place at Gonville and Caius College, the University of Cambridge, to study Archaeology.
- Elizabeth Cody, who has secured a place at Exeter University to study English, got 4 A*s in History, Philosophy and Ethics, English Literature and her EPQ.
- Ben Snow, who has gained a prestigious finance apprenticeship with Schroders Asset Management, got Distinction* in Economics and Business Studies.
Grades moderated and assessed
This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government decided that young people’s grades would be determined by teachers, based on work students produced throughout their course. These grades were then moderated and assessed by external exam boards which awarded the final grades.
The school has taken a well-rounded approach to helping their students thrive in the face of this year’s challenges and these outstanding results are a testament to that work. The academy placed the utmost importance on promoting positive mental health and wellbeing as well as providing numerous opportunities for academic success.
