The Associated Sixth Form of St Aidan's and St John Fisher is celebrating another year of “incredible” exam results.
The percentage of students achieving grades A*-A has increased to over 30% with over 80% of students gaining A*-C grades.
Students taking the applied general courses have excelled with nearly 50% of the cohort achieving a distinction* or distinction grade.
These 2024 results are the highest set of results that the Associated Sixth Form has achieved for many years, according to Head teacher of St John Fisher, Steve Mort.
Mr Mort said:
“With national speculation that grades would be down on previous years, we are absolutely thrilled that we have achieved our best results yet.
“The results for this cohort are even better than those of 2019 (pre-pandemic) and 2023, and we could not be more pleased for all of our students”.
Head teacher of St Aidan’s, Siân Dover, said:
“We are so proud of all of our students and staff, and they thoroughly deserve this phenomenal set of results.
“To achieve results that are better than before the pandemic shows how the commitment and care put in for each individual student has really paid off.
“These young people have worked so hard, and we want to congratulate each and every one of them”.
As a result of their results, more students than in previous years have secured places on their preferred route of career or further study whether that be university, apprenticeships, or the world of work.
Several students have achieved a full set of A*/A grades in all their subjects showing the high academic attainment that students at St Aidan’s and St John Fisher Associated Sixth Form achieve, and many others have made exceptional progress from their staring point when they joined the sixth form.
