𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝘅𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 This year across our Sixth Form, over half (54%) of all A Level entries were graded as A* to B, with 80% of entries awarded A* to C. Similar achievements were seen across those taking BTEC qualifications, with a 100% pass rate across all A Level and equivalent awards this year. With such a strong showing across the cohort, many students have been excitedly confirming their next steps with many taking up their first-choice destinations for the upcoming year. Among the students commenting on their results, Molly, who will be taking up a place at Durham University to study Maths, said she was: “Pleased, surprised and relieved it is finally over. Looking forward to the future and so grateful for my teachers.” Andrew, who has secured a place at the University of York to study Chemistry, Biological and Medicinal Chemistry added: “I have had a lovely time throughout. Plenty of challenges but so rewarding at the end to get these results.” Reflecting on the day, Principal, Mr Markham said: “Our Sixth Formers can take pride in the knowledge that they have achieved some fantastic results and challenged themselves to be ambitious at every stage. It is hugely gratifying for staff to see students, many of whom we have known and taught over many years, reach this important milestone and secure destinations that will enable them to move forward confidently into their adult lives. We are pleased for all our Year 13s celebrating particular individual successes today but it is also excellent that, as a group, they have brought so much to our school community as young leaders through the example they have set our younger year groups. As we congratulate and wish them all well in their next steps, I want to extend my gratitude to staff for their tireless efforts, encouragement and support that has been so appreciated by our Sixth Formers.” #WeAreRRCA #AmbitionResilienceRespect #Year13
