Leweston students are, once again, celebrating an excellent set of A Level results. Well over a third gained at least one A* or A grade and seven pupils received a very impressive 12 A*s and 8 As between them.
Amongst this cohort are Eleanor S with 4 A*s, Charlie H with 2 A*s and 2 As, and Serena M and Millie C who both achieved 2 A*s and an A. Once again, the students undertaking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) have achieved fantastic results with 75% A* to A grades.
This year the Creative Arts have had an outstanding set of results. Across Music, Drama, Fine Art, Textiles and Photography pupils gained 12 A* and A grades and 92% of all results were A* to B. Serena M has been recognised by the OCR exam board as one of the top performing Fine Art candidates nationwide. She will be taking up a place to study Performance: Design and Practice at prestigious Central St Martins, part of the University of the Arts London. In the Music Department, Oliver D will be taking up an unconditional offer and Scholarship to study at the Royal School of Music.

We have also seen an increase in applications to more vocational courses with students leaving to read Criminology with Policing, Sports Coaching, Games Technology, Agricultural Business Management, and Consumer Behaviour and Marketing. One student will be joining internationally renowned Norland College to study Early Childhood Education and Care.
Mr Paget-Tomlinson, Headmaster commented:
“This is testament to the hard work and commitment shown by Year 13, as well as the teaching staff that support them. I am incredibly proud of their achievements and delighted by the wide range of courses and destinations they have chosen. This is truly a reflection of our intent to find the right pathway for each individual pupil. I was delighted see such a high percentage get their first choice university place”
