Sixth Form Students Celebrate Excellent Exam Results

Central Foundation Boys’ School is celebrating their students’ excellent achievements across both A-level and vocational subjects. The pass rate was 99%, with 83% of grades at A* to C, 52% at A* to B, and 29% at A* or A.

These results have allowed the students to access many of the UK’s top universities, including its highest ever number to Russell Group institutions. Students will be attending UCL, King’s College London, Imperial, Warwick, Manchester and Edinburgh. The School continues to be an excellent provider for students to study STEM subjects at university, including Medicine, Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering. The School has also seen considerable success for students studying humanities and arts. These courses include Law, Architecture, History, Economics, Interior Design and Fashion.

Vocational subjects were again, very successful. 89% of grades were at Merit or above, equivalent to a C or above at A-level with 68% of all grades at Distinction or Distinction*, equivalent to an A or A* at A-level.

These results have secured the students exceptional university destinations, employment or apprenticeship opportunities. Some of their courses and destinations include Architecture at the University of Manchester, Diagnostic Radiography at St George’s, and Business Management at the University of Surrey. Other students are taking up apprenticeship opportunities.

All Year 13s were supported in their university and apprenticeship applications by Central Futures, a dedicated team of professionals who assist students in securing a place in higher education, apprenticeship or employment upon leaving school. Central Futures work with ‘The Key Project’, a partnership between the school, the international law firm Slaughter and May, and The Access Project charity. The students are provided with one- to-one tutoring for their subjects and are supported in the application process throughout the academic year.

Headteacher Jamie Brownhill said, “We are delighted with the students’ exam outcomes and the university and apprenticeship placements they have secured. These are the result of the hard work of the students and the support they have received from our skilled and committed group of teachers”
