Huge congratulations to the Sixth Form students at Christ the King College on their A-Level results this year.
It has been widely publicised that achieving A-Levels at a high standard would be even more challenging this year than for the preceding three years, due to the impact of the Pandemic.
Improvements on 2019 results
Despite this, Christ the King College students achieved an average grade of C+ in their A-Level programmes this year, an improvement on our exceptional 2019 results.
Students on BTEC programmes also excelled, achieving an average grade of Distinction+ which is a phenomenal success for all these young people.
Onward journeys
The College feels extremely proud that two of their Year 13 students are moving on to study Medicine this year; and the BTEC Health & Social Care students have exceeded expectations once again.
Health Care and Medicine continue to be growth areas at the College and we are looking forward to becoming the new Hub School for the NHS 350 programme in the new academic year.
Bucking national trends
Despite national trends, a significant number of students achieved high grades (15 per cent of all grades were A/A*’s). Our overall pass rate is an impressive 99 per cent.
Students performed very well in the broad range of subjects we offer, doing particularly well in Geography, Computer Science, Drama, Maths & Business Studies. Students also performed exceptionally well in the Extended Project Qualification, which is completed in addition to 3 A-levels.
Conway-Hughes: We feel so very proud of them and everything they have achieved
The Head of Sixth Form, Hayley Conway-Hughes, said,
“This is a day of celebration for a cohort of young people who have never before had the opportunity to take external examination assessments. They should feel extremely proud of the grades they are taking home today.
“We hope that they feel excited about what they’re moving onto next. 74 per cent of university applicants have secured a place at one of their preferred Universities and 81 per cent are currently holding offers from a preferred university.
“All too often when faced with results and data we overlook all of the other ways they have challenged themselves to develop during their time at Christ the King College.
“We have a phenomenal student body in this Year group who have participated fully in school life, as ambassadors and advocates for equality and rights, as performers: musical, theatre and sports, as leaders and mentors. We feel so very proud of them and everything they have achieved in their time with us. It is hard to say goodbye.”
Montrose: We have ‘challenged them to greatness’
The Headteacher Andrew Montrose added,
“The whole community of Christ the King is incredibly proud of our students and what they have achieved. Collectively and individually, they have demonstrated resilience and character during some very challenging times post-Covid.
“Our Sixth Form provision is second-to-none. The quality, passion and expertise of the teaching and support staff – plus the rich curriculum offered here at College – have all contributed to enabling our young people to flourish in the next phase of their lives.
“Inline with one of our College Values, we have ‘challenged them to greatness’ – and they have delivered! Good luck and God Bless to all of our students; we look forward to seeing them again as successful alumni of Christ the King College.”
