STUDENTS and staff at St Joseph’s, Reading, celebrated a gleaming set of A Level results on the morning of Thursday, August 18.

An impressive 91% of entries achieving A*-C grades and 41% were either A*s or As. The latter is a school record high percentage for externally assessed A Levels.

St Joseph’s will see students study a wide range of disciplines at universities including UCL, Bristol, Warwick, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Bath.

Asha Rajoriya, 18, was thrilled to receive As in English literature and Music A Levels and an A* in drama and theatre studies.

She said: “I was really happy and very relieved. I was actually a little surprised but I’m over the moon.”

Asha will head to the University of Birmingham to study English literature and Film. Although a little nervous to start, she is now excited to get her teeth into the course.

“I don’t know an awful lot about film,” she explained. “So I’m excited to learn more and to develop what I already know.”

Joe Beech, 18, is off to the University of Plymouth to read navigation and maritime studies, achieving a B in maths and Cs in geography and physics.

He said: “I’m really excited. I’ve spoken to the lecturers there already, it’s a growing industry.”

“I also love the sea and to have the ability to go sailing after lectures sounds perfect to me.”

Both Asha and Joe say they will be celebrating with a ‘civilised meal’ with their families before enjoying the moment with their friends.

Laura Stotesbury, Head at St Joseph’s, said: “I am delighted to congratulate our students on a superb set of exam results that are a true reflection of their hard work over a turbulent few years due to Covid.

“As the new Head of St Joseph’s, having just completed my first year in post, I am extremely proud of all that they have achieved and wish them the best of luck as they move on to the next stage of their education or employment.

“I am particularly pleased that they achieved the highest percentage of A*-A grades to date, rising from 15% in the last set of externally assessed A Levels in 2019, to 41% this year.

My heartfelt thanks go to our remarkable staff; they have guided and supported our students over the last two years with unfailing energy, encouragement and enthusiasm.”
