ARDEN 'A' LEVEL RESULTS 2012
We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our Sixth Form students. We have a 100% pass rate this year which reflects the tremendous hard work of our students - really well done.
I must thank all my colleagues for all their hard work and we congratulate our students and celebrate their achievements with their parents who will be so very proud. The highest numbers of our students ever are now moving on to their first choice universities. We are very pleased to see that all our students wishing to study medicine have all gained places at top universities.
The average points per entry have increased this year and the number achieving the highest grades A*/C and above has increased again. This is a great day at Arden.
What is also really encouraging is that the percentage of students achieving their aspirational targets has now shown another increase which clearly shows outstanding student progress.
Our Year 12 students have also done incredibly well with our best results ever at all levels. This will ensure great success next year.
I must mention some individual success at A Level:
Matthew Cottell: A* in all his subjects Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Further Maths. He also achieved the highest grades on his STEP papers to study Maths at Cambridge University - a truly inspirational young man.
Tanguy Feraud: A* in Chemistry, Physics and Maths and Grade A in French and Grade B in further Maths who is on his way to Oxford University to study Materials Science.
Anna Savage: A* in Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology, going to study Medicine at Cardiff University.
Lauren Saunders: A* in Psychology, Chemistry, Mathematics and a Grade A in Physics, going to study Chemistry at York University.
Other candidates with straight A* and A grades in all their subjects are Owais Ahmed, Emma Brown, Joanna Brown, Lauren Bull, Jonathan Davies, Katy Gaskin, Emma Lowe, Luke Truman, Rachel Winkler and Jessica Yorke.
What I must also celebrate is the incredible support and work our students have done to support learning, coaching in sport, music and drama across the school in their time with us. Their impact has been exceptional; all our Year 13 students are outstanding ambassadors - really well done and thank you. I wish every one of them all the very best for the future.
