Sixth Form students and staff at St Joseph’s College are celebrating excellent A Level results this morning, with 45% of exam grades being awarded at either A* or A and 77% at A*-B. An impressive 87% of students secured their first choice of university. St Joseph’s College accepts students across a broad academic spectrum and there have been some wonderful individual successes of students achieving grades much higher than they anticipated, allowing them to access their preferred courses and institutions.
Students have secured places on competitive courses at some of the country’s leading universities including Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, UCL and Warwick. They will be studying a wide variety of courses ranging from Law, Biomedical Sciences, Psychology, Mechanical Engineering, Film & TV, Computer Animation & Visual Effects and Sport & Exercise Science.
We are also proud of our students for the other skills that they have learned at St Joseph’s, which will equip them for success at university and beyond. As well as studying for A Levels, they have spent their two years of Sixth Form broadening their horizons, learning life skills and preparing for the future – whether being part of the CAFOD Youth Leadership scheme, running their own company as part of the Young Enterprise programme, completing the Duke of Edinburgh Gold award or achieving their Extended Project Qualification.
Laura Stotesbury, Head at St Joseph’s, said:
“I am delighted with the outstanding accomplishments of our Year 13 students in their A-Level results today, some of whom have faced significant personal challenges over the last two years. Many of our students have exceeded both our, and their, expectations, with 87% securing their first-choice university destination. This success is testament to their hard work, resilience, and determination. Congratulations - you have made us extremely proud, and we look forward to hearing about the bright futures that lie ahead as you embark on the next chapter of your academic and personal journeys.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our dedicated staff, whose unwavering support, enthusiasm, guidance, and expertise have been instrumental in helping our students attain such fantastic results. At St Joseph’s College we all work hard to ensure that we provide the best possible education for our all our pupils and the best value for money for our parents.”
