On Monday 17th September and Tuesday 18th September we are holding a ‘Celebration of Students Work evening’ whereby we will be inviting parents in to Celebrate the students ‘All about me’ projects that will be on display.

At the end of last year we celebrated School Diversity Week with our students which is a national celebration of LGBT+ equality in schools.

As a community we raised an amazing sum of £637.81 which we have donated to the ‘Just Like Us’ charity to support the work they do in leading SDW and empowering LGBT+ young people.

Thank you once again for your kind donations and pledges of support.

Students and staff are celebrating GCSE exam success at John Henry Newman Catholic College. The English department are celebrating a 72% Grade 4+ GCSE pass rate with 21% achieving Grade 7 + . Mathematics achieved 70% Grade 4 + .

Special recognition goes to the following teams:

Physics – 93% Grade 4+

Spanish – 80% Grade 4+

PE GCSE – 100% Grade 4+

History –  70% Grade 4+

Media – 100% A*-C

Mrs Jennifer McGuirk, Principal at John Henry Newman Catholic College commented, ‘The high  number of students achieving grade 7-9  has ensured that our students are now in the best position to achieve outstanding results at A Level and go on to the most prestigious universities and apprenticeships. We are all very proud of our brilliant students and their fantastic teachers.’

 

The success at GCSE has resulted in a record number of students enrolling on to A Level courses such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history and english.

I take great pride in announcing our Sixth Form Results for 2018. Yet again the College is celebrating outstanding results in both A Level and Vocational courses, with exceptional results in many individual subjects.

Highlights include:

• Approximately 40% of A Level grades at A*-B
• 100% pass rate in all BTEC courses, with over 85% at Distinction*/Distinction
• All applicants to university have accepted a place on their chosen course
• Increasing numbers of students choosing to study at Russell Group universities, which are some of the best universities worldwide

These results show that Newman Sixth is an outstanding place to come and learn at Post-16 for all students, and with a full complement of A Level and BTEC courses students are able to study a combination of courses if they wish, which is an increasingly popular option amongst many students and universities.

Pictured below are our Head Boy, who will now go on to study Automotive Engineering at Warwick University, and our Head Girl, who has chosen to read Neuroscience at Nottingham University.

Many congratulations to all of the students celebrating their results and a huge thank you to our talented and inspirational Sixth Form staff for the support and encouragement they have given all of our students. Results day at John Henry Newman Catholic College was packed full of students enjoying the thrill of success and the realisation for many that they are able to fulfil their dream of continuing their studies at university.

On behalf of the entire John Henry Newman Catholic College community, I wish our students all the very best for the future.

If you would like to study at Newman Sixth in September, enrolment takes place on Thursday 23^rd August and Friday 24^th August 2018, and places are still available on many different courses.
