A Level and Level 3 Vocational Results Day 

Congratulations and well done  to Newman Sixth Year 13 students for making it through the past two years. These have been unprecedented times but today Year 13 students received their grades from this summer’s A Level exams  and Level 3 Vocational qualifications. These students were unable to sit GCSEs in 2020 and so these results  were the first external assessments that they have taken. These results are a tremendous achievement and we are so very proud of all of them. 

Students achieved a 99% pass rate, with 48% of grades between A* to B and 84% between A* and C. Over the last five years, when exams have been sat, this is the highest pass rate achieved at Newman Sixth and reflects the investment the College has made in curriculum design and expert teaching. 

The pastoral and UCAS support offered by Newman Sixth, which involves outside speakers, visits to careers shows, universities and employers, reflects the expertise of the Newman Sixth pastoral team. This has enabled  so many of this year’s Year 13 cohort to be able to accept their first choice offers. 

Notable student success were achieved by;

• Leah who achieved 2 A*s and an A and achieved a place to read law at the University of York
• Rio who achieved A*, A and a B grade and achieved a place read to read politics and the University of Birmingham 
• Kian who achieved grades to get into Christchurch College, Oxford to read Art and Design 
• Aaliyah who achieved A*, A and a B  to gain a prestigious paralegal apprenticeship at a law firm
• Kirsty who achieved A* in Product Design, A in Criminology and Distinction* in Applied Psychology
• Josh who achieved grades A in Maths and B in Psychology at A Level and a Distinction* in Business to read Accounting and Finance at the University of Liverpool 
• Niamh who achieved 2 A grades and a Distinction* and is now looking to improve on her first choice offer
• Keryn who achieved 2 A grades in Maths and Product Design and B in Geography and achieved a place to read Urban Planning and Design at University of College London 
• Ellie who achieved 2 A grades  and a Distinction* to read Geography at Bournemouth University
• Ellie who achieved 2 B grades in Drama and Geography and 2C grades in English Literature and Philosophy and Ethics  and achieved a place at Royal Holloway University

We wish all of our students great success as they embark upon university courses, apprenticeships and employment and start the next chapter of their lives.
