A Level Results 2019

Staff and students at Egglescliffe School and Sixth Form College are once again celebrating superb A-level results, with a 100% pass rate at A-level in 24 subjects. 28% were graded at A*-A and 84% of grades were A*-C, demonstrating the support and stretch and challenge provided for all students.

Many subjects in particular excelled in Maths as 65% of grades were at A*-B and 56% at A*-A. The result in Physics were similarly excellent, with 73% A*-B and 65% A*-A. Students also excelled in a wide range of curriculum areas-English Language, Geography, History, Music and Religious Education. An impressive nineteen A-level students achieved all A* or A grades.

Headteacher Simon White commented that “These results reflect the hard work and positive attitudes of our students and the skill, professionalism and dedication of our staff. At a time of enormous change and real constraints in education it is absolutely wonderful to celebrate this success. I have had the pleasure of seeing our students displaying tenacity, good humour and grit during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Staff at Egglescliffe are keen to reflect and work hard to ensure no student is left behind; their hard work is clearly having a huge impact on student achievement.

Our students’ impressive results have enabled them to secure places at many prestigious institutions including Oxford, Imperial College London, Durham, St Andrew’s, Newcastle and Leeds, to study everything from Maths, Mechanical Engineering, Medicine, Accounting to Geography, Psychology, Law and Religion, Politics and Society. Of those going to university well over 35% will be attending Russell Group universities from September, compared with a national average last year of 11%. The majority of students achieved or exceeded their predicted grades and should feel very proud of their success in getting in to the university of their choice or into employment.”
