WELLINGTON COLLEGE has lauded the “phenomenal” efforts of its pupils and staff after A-Level results were released on Thursday, August 18.
Of all grades received, 94.8% were A* to B with 37.4% of those an A*.
A total of 22 students achieved A*s across the board with 51 pupils securing A*AA or better.
Benjamin Evans, the deputy head academic, said: “Wellington College’s A level results are very pleasing, representing a significant improvement from 2019, with more top grades than were achieved in 2020.
“All members of the community have displayed genuine fortitude and resilience during the last two years and this group of young adults realise that obstacles exist to be overcome and that challenges are to be met head on.
“As a community, we have not wavered in our understanding that though the path to success never runs smooth, the rewards of commitment to academic study are far more profound than can be measured by grades.”
The college also offers sixth form pupils the opportunity to study the International Baccalaureate (IB)
When the A-Level and IB results are combined, 47% of grades were A* or 7, 84% were A*/A or 7/6 and 97% were A* to B or 7 to 5.
James Dahl, the Master of Wellington, was delighted with the results and commented: “I am so proud of all our upper sixth graduates and their results are the product of a phenomenal team effort between staff and pupils.
“We must not forget that this year group also produced performing arts of professional quality, were national finalists – and even champions – in numerous girls’ and boys’ sports and were simply a delight to have around the college, contributing so generously and leading so effectively both internally and with numerous external partnerships.
“They were a brilliant cohort who deserve every success.”
