The percentage of A* grades at A Level achieved by Plymouth College students has doubled since this time last year, with a third of all grades at A* or A. More than a quarter of students have achieved at least AAB.
This year’s top performers are Dominic Day and Peter Miller, who have both walked away with an impressive 4 A*s. Hettie Burrows and elite swimmer, Grace Vertigans, claimed 2 A*s and 1 A grade each while Edward Neeves and Tsengel Enkhbat achieved 3 As and a B. Nada Khalil, Jake Lunn and Maisie Boyers all secured 3 As.
The overall pass rate remains strong at 98%.
In the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), half of the students have achieved a point score equivalent to 1 A* and 2 As at A level. Jannika Czekay had the highest score with 34 points, the equivalent of more than 3 A*s at A Level. She was followed closely by Head Girl Lizzie Gribble, Jacob Hardy and Elle Tinmanee who all scored 31 points, the equivalent of 2 A*s and an A grade at A level.
The overall point score is a healthy 28.2, which equates to 1 A* and 2 As at A Level.
“I am delighted to see such an excellent set of A Level and IB examination results”, said Headmaster, Dr Simon Wormleighton. “All our students should be very proud of what they have achieved. I would like to pass on my thanks to the teaching staff for their continued commitment and hard work, which has helped our students to reach such a high level of achievement. We have a busy and vibrant sixth form community and it is extremely rewarding to see them do so well.”
