Wrekin College celebrates one of its most successful sets of A level results in a decade
Wrekin College pupils are celebrating today after a stellar set of A-Level results.
Fifty-one per cent of grades awarded were A*-B, which is an improvement of five per cent compared with 2023.
Twenty-nine per cent of the grades students achieved were either an A* or an A, which is particularly impressive given that the number of top grades awarded this year is expected to fall as exam boards return to pre-pandemic grading standards. This represents the school's most successful set of results in a decade.
Pupils have received offers from top universities across the UK including Oxford, Durham, Imperial College and King’s College, London.A number of pupils will also be undertaking vocational qualifications through degree apprenticeships with globally renowned companies including PriceWaterhouseCoopers.Headmaster Toby Spence said: “We are incredibly proud of this year’s cohort of A-Level pupils who have shown outstanding levels of dedication, achieving a fantastic set of results. They should be very proud of their achievements across their chosen subjects.“We are delighted that so many of our pupils have received the grades they need to gain entry to prestigious universities around the world. “Equally we are happy to see that a number of our pupils have, after what can be an intense selection process, been accepted for well respected degree apprenticeships, something that we champion through our Wrekin Business School.“Whatever their future holds, we wish each and every one of our students the very best of luck in their future endeavours.”
