ABBEYFIELD School have been left delighted after their students received this year’s A-level results.

One hundred per cent of students entered for three or more A-levels achieved A*-E with 42 per cent of those students achieving A*-B grades.

A total of 48 per cent of students who took BTEC qualifications achieved Distinction or Distinction* and in total, 79 per cent of students achieved A*- C or Merit across the A-level and BTEC range.

Headteacher Ian Tucker said: “For the past two years, the development of the sixth form has been high on the list of school improvement priorities for the school.

“We have demanded a great deal from students and staff in the pursuit of strong and competitive outcomes and they have gone above and beyond with their response.

“Sam Owen, our head boy, who achieved A* in history, an A in business studies and a B in biology devised the strap line ‘Enter to learn… Leave to achieve’ within days of joining the sixth form.

“This group of students have taken that motto to heart and we are delighted by these results and wish all students the very best with their next steps.”
