The Weald School was alive with the sounds of laughter and tears of joy as students received their A level results. The school was celebrating another bumper set of results with 84% of grades at A*-C and amongst the school’s best ever results.  Headteacher Mr Woodman said, “It has been fantastic to watch students as they get their results and see that their hard work over the last two years has paid off. Results across the ability range are again very good with our average grade per entry the highest it has ever been. Over one third of all grades achieved were at A* or A. Well done to students, staff and parents!”

We achieved a first when three students in the same year were all accepted onto courses at Cambridge University. Tom McCann, four A*s, will study Natural Sciences at Robinson College. Lauren Sullivan, two A*s and two As, will study Veterinary Science at Fitzwilliam College. Head Boy Benedict Welch, three A*s one A, will study German at Jesus College. Remy Shaieb was also celebrating after achieving three A* and one A, gaining entry to Imperial College to study Chemical Engineering as was Grace Whyman who was accepted at Leeds to study Medicine.

Head of Sixth Form, Mr Backshall, said “About 85% of our students will go onto University with the vast majority getting in with their first choice. Whilst we are thrilled with our headlines figures and congratulate the students going to some of the major Russell group Universities, we are just as pleased when students achieve their target grades and gain entry to their course of choice wherever it is across the country. This morning was really up lifting to see that the hopes and dreams of so many students had come to fruition”.
