Today our Year 13 students are celebrating a wonderful set of A level results!
It has been another fantastic A level results day at Ashington Academy, with students and staff celebrating a superb set of outcomes across both A level and Applied General qualifications. We are delighted to announce a 100% pass rate again, reflecting the hard work, commitment and resilience shown by our Year 13 students throughout their studies.
This year's results demonstrate the high levels of achievement across our Sixth Form, with 31% of all grades awarded at A/A* or equivalent, and 61% achieved at A*-B. Students taking A level qualifications performed exceptionally well, with 57% of grades awarded at A*-B, while those studying Applied General qualifications achieved outstanding success, with 93% of grades awarded at Distinction to Distinction*. These results reflect not only the dedication of our students, but also the unwavering support provided by families, teachers and support staff throughout their sixth form journey.
Many students have now secured their next steps and will be progressing to universities, higher-level apprenticeships, employment and training opportunities across the region and beyond, including Engineering at Sheffield University, Medicine at Lancaster University, and Sport Management at Loughborough University.
Laura Smith, Associate Headteacher, said: "We are incredibly proud of everything our Year 13 students have achieved. These results are the culmination of years of hard work, determination and perseverance. It has been wonderful to celebrate alongside them today as they take the next exciting steps in their education, training and careers. We wish every student the very best for the future."
Yvonne Weston, Executive Headteacher, added: "Congratulations to our Year 13 students on an excellent set of results. Achieving a 100% pass rate alongside such strong outcomes at the highest grades is a remarkable achievement and reflects the ambition, resilience and commitment shown by our students every day. I would also like to thank our dedicated staff and the families who have supported our young people throughout their time at Ashington Academy."
We are proud of every student for the contribution they have made to our Sixth Form community. We look forward to following their future successes and wish them every happiness in the next stage of their journey.
