Sandown Bay Academy share details of A-level results announced today. Ed
The resilience of students at Sandown Bay Academy has shone through with their success in post-16 studies (A Levels and Applied A Levels).
They quite rightly are celebrating today after collecting a superb set of results ensuring access to higher education, higher level apprenticeships and key work based opportunities at management level.
Four students gained three A* grades and those gaining a total of three or more facilitating subjects was up by 12%. The new measure of students gaining high grades in at least two facilitating subjects was also up by 10% on last year’s equivalent.
Students praised the staff for their support, which was acknowledged by the Academy. This focus on success by staff was key in over 97% of students getting into their first choice university. Students have been accepted onto a huge range of courses at some of the best universities in the UK.
Courses chosen range from Engineering to Marine Biology to Paediatric Nursing and students will be travelling far and wide to places including to Cambridge, Nottingham and Wales. This is made possible by the Academy as it continues to demonstrate strong provision for students in an impressive range of courses.
