Another fantastic year for students at KESH Sixth Form; the AS and A-Level grades secured are the best ever!
Our students have once again been very successful in their A-Level studies and have secured the best grades ever, 56% of A-Level results were a grade B or better, with nearly 90% of A-Level students securing a grade C or better! As a result, the vast majority of our students are able to continue with their studies in their first choice of University and this includes some very prestigious universities and courses:
- Medicine at the University of Birmingham and Aston University (three students in total)
- Mathematics at the University of Birmingham
- Economics at the University of Birmingham
- Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham
- Mathematics with Economics at the University of Birmingham
- Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick
Students in Year 12 performed really well with 54% of AS results being at grade B or better and 78% being at grade C or better!
We are proud of what our students have achieved and we wish them the very best for their future.
