Staff and students at Great Western Academy say they are extremely happy with this year’s A-level results - the fourth since the school opened.
A total of 22 percent of all grades achieved were A*or A, and an impressive 21 of 54 students gained at least one of those top grades.
In addition, 41 percent of all grades were A*-B, and there was a 97 percent pass rate overall.
Stand out performers were Maisie (A* A* A*), Athaliah (A*A*A), Grace (A*AAC), Alicja (A*AA) and Niamh (A*AB).
Alicja becomes the fourth GWA student in four years to take up a place at Oxbridge, in her case to study Biomedical Sciences at Oxford.
Naomi succeeded in gaining a place to study Medicine at Nottingham. Overall, around three quarters of students will go on to university, with a third of them securing places at the prestigious Russell Group universities.
Many other students have impressive apprenticeship pathways ahead of them, including pilot training and the Police Force.
Head of Sixth Form David Smith said: “We are really pleased for our students and especially that nearly all of them have achieved what they needed for their next steps.
"This is one of GWA’s main goals, to ensure students aim high and move on to what they want to do, whether that is Oxbridge, another university, an apprenticeship, or moving into the world of work.”
Great Western Academy Sixth Form expands to over 200 students in September, with its very first cohort reaching Year 13.
There is still time to join us, and GWA welcomes applicants from other schools to come and enjoy its fantastic provision.
