Arnewood School students were celebrating after receiving their A Level results – the second consecutive year in which they have improved.

Headteacher, Mr Anderson said: “We could not be prouder of the Arnewood School class of 2024, who have seen their hard work, dedication and resilience rewarded with an excellent set of A Level results. With 25 per cent of grades at A*/A and 45 per cent at B or higher we are extremely proud of our students’ achievements.

“We are particularly pleased that 85 per cent of the cohort secured places at their first choice of university. The new Arnewood alumni will embark on courses far and wide, in this country and abroad, including medicine, natural sciences, physics, computing, acting, special effects, and law.”

In addition to A Levels, excellent outcomes were achieved in BTEC qualifications, with great results in creative digital media production and the sports diploma courses. Many excellent individual achievements included Joey Dewhirst who achieved 2A*s and an A, Elizabeth Grylls who secured an A* and 3 As, Abbie Light and Fred Gouldstone both achieved an A*, two As and a B and both Jake Inglis and Maisie Philp were both awarded three As.

Mark Colman, head of sixth form, said: “As ever, the results and destinations reflect brilliantly on the commitment and hard work of our students, our inspirational teachers and the huge efforts made by all members of staff to help identify and support students in their times of need. A team effort to be proud of.”

Jake is off to Victoria University in Canada to study Mechanical Engineering, Fred is going to Bath University to study Computer Science and Elizabeth Grills is going to Durham University to study Natural Sciences.
