Today marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication for students, their families and the Academy’s dedicated staff who have supported them every step of the way as they now look to secure places at their chosen universities, apprenticeships and employment.
This year, 96% of A level students achieved three or more passes at grades A*-E, with Biology, English Literature, Maths, Sociology, Psychology, Italian and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) attaining a 100% pass rate.
In addition to the Academy’s continued success, performances were particularly strong in Applied Science and Health and Social Care, with BTEC Applied Science achieving 100% Distinction* grades.
Kayleigh Steed, Head of Sixth Form at Shireland Biomedical UTC, commented: “Today celebrates the hard-earned successes and achievements of our students, whose dedication and perseverance have truly paid off. It has been an inspiration to see their aspirations come to fruition; their results reflecting not only academic excellence but their personal growth during their time with us.
“We are incredibly proud of them all and excited to see where their futures take them and wish them every success and happiness. We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional staff, whose guidance and support have been instrumental in helping our students thrive.”
Students pursuing BTEC courses have also excelled this year, with 97% gaining qualifications equivalent to three or more A level passes at grades A*-E, mirroring the success of their A level peers. This means that BTEC students at Shireland Biomedical UTC have secured an average grade of Distinction.
