Congratulations to our Sixth Form students

Today’s results are a well‑deserved cause for celebration, and we are delighted for each of our students. They reinforce our strong record at post‑16 and testify to the resilience, dedication and ambition of the young people entrusted to us. Every student has shown determination across a demanding two years of study; their commitment has resulted in the following outcomes:

  • 39% of all entries graded A* to A
  • 76% of all entries graded A* to B
  • 36% of A Level entries graded A* to A
  • 100% of entries graded A* to E

Mrs De Lashley, Head of Sixth Form said: “I am bursting with excitement for this cohort. They are a credit to the school and their families and I feel so proud that they are tomorrow’s future.

They have true aspiration, drive and a passion that is contagious. Their results are so very deserved and have been worked hard for and certainly not to be taken for granted.

Our truly comprehensive cohort started in very different positions and have had their own potential to achieve but to see them all putting their best foot forward and being able to walk away with the best possible outcomes for their efforts is the reason why we are delighted to share this day with them.

We have had some spectacular outcomes allowing students to access both Oxford and Cambridge, Medicine, Russell Group Universities and some of the most competitive apprenticeships. We don’t need to wish this cohort of young adults luck, they have what it takes to reach their aspirations and make the future a better place for us all.”

Headteacher Lucie Pond said: “To our Year 13’s, many of whom have been part of the Archbishop Holgate’s community for seven years, congratulations on these excellent results. They are a true testament to your perseverance and the application you have shown throughout your studies.

Thank you for everything you have contributed to school life; we wish you every success as you begin the next chapter of your lives. Finally, I want to thank our entire staff team for their dedication and commitment, and to parents and carers whose support has enabled our students to flourish and thrive.”
