Excellent A Level Results for Eltham College Students
Congratulations to all our outgoing Year 13 students, who have today both secured excellent A Level results and confirmed their places at a host of prestigious universities.
This year, once again, the highest three grades – A*, A and B – have proved the norm for Eltham College students, with no fewer than 90% of results falling within this top bracket. Indeed, an impressive two-thirds (65%) of grades were awarded at A*/A, while 28% of results attained the exceptional A* grade.
Fine performances across a full range of subjects saw almost one in every seven students (15%) achieve an outstanding suite of at least A*A*A* in their results. Unsurprisingly, the majority of students have secured places at their first-choice university, including Oxbridge and Russell Group institutions.
Every student holding an offer for Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine achieved the results needed to secure their place, as did those heading on to study Mathematics. The arts have also yielded places at first-choice institutions following exceptional results. In Art, no fewer than 83% of grades were at A* level; in Drama, more than half (53%) were likewise A*, and there was a clean sweep of A grades in Music. With our linguists similarly seeing 94% of their grades fall in the top A*/A tier, all those set to continue language study have secured their university place, while geographers, too, were all smiles today, after 87% of their grades reached A*/A.
“We are so proud of our students and all they have achieved this year,” says Headmaster, Guy Sanderson. “These results are testament to their dedication, determination and sheer hard work, and are all the more impressive in the context of the enormous contribution beyond the classroom – whether on the sports field or the stage, in concert or in service to others – that each has made.
I send my congratulations to all and very best wishes for the future. My heartfelt thanks go also to their inspirational teachers, whose commitment and care underpin these results.”
