Abbeywood Community School

Abbeywood celebrates excellent A Level results

Year 13 students at Abbeywood Community School are celebrating an excellent set of A level results, with over half of students receiving grades A*-B and over 20% receiving a top grade. The overall pass rate was 99%. The average A Level grade achieved this year was a grade B and the average vocational course grade was a Distinction. The overall school results are above the national average for progress made at A Level, reflected in our highest ever number of students being awarded places at the top Russell Group universities this year.  

  

Gemma Shafto, Director of Post 16 said, “We are delighted that the hard work of our students and staff has been recognised in these very positive results. So many of our students have achieved the excellent grades they deserve, and they now embark on a wide range of exciting undergraduate courses, apprenticeships, employment or a gap year. We are extremely proud of the achievements of our Year 13 students and we wish them all the very best for their future.”
