SIXTH Form students and staff at St Joseph’s College have celebrated “incredible” A Level results.
The college saw 34% of exam grades being awarded at either A* or A and 71% at A*-B, and 95% of students secured their first choice of university.
Students have secured places on competitive courses at some of the country’s leading universities including Cambridge, Cardiff, Bristol, Bath, Exeter, and King’s College London.
They will be studying a wide variety of courses ranging from Medicine, Music, Law, Business and Management, Economics, Engineering, History, Fashion and Media and Journalism.
Laura Stotesbury, Head at St Joseph’s, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the incredible A Level results achieved by our Year 13 students today–at St Joseph’s, we believe that success looks different for every individual.
“We encourage our students, with our guidance, to define it in their own way. Today, we’ve seen so many of them not only meet but surpass their personal goals, with 95% securing places at their first-choice universities.
“Their achievements are a reflection of their hard work, resilience, and determination — and we couldn’t be prouder.
“Whether they are studying at Cambridge or Cardiff, Medicine or Music, I feel confident that they leave us fully ready for what comes next – and what an adventure it will be.
She added: “To our students: thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. You’ve inspired us with your ambition and spirit, and we can’t wait to hear all about your experiences on the varied paths you now take.
“I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our dedicated teaching and support staff. Your passion, care, and commitment make all the difference.
“You go above and beyond every day to encourage and provide for our young people, and today’s results are a testament to the strength of that partnership.
“At St Joseph’s College, we strive to offer not only an outstanding education but also real value for our families.
“Today’s success is shared by our whole community–it’s a moment to celebrate.”
