Exam Results

 

Birkenhead’s Star Students Celebrate 2011 Exam results!

Birkenhead Sixth Form College students have been celebrating another outstanding year after the publication of A Level results.  100% pass rate was achieved in 28 subjects.  Over a third of A Level results attained by students were prestigious A*, A and B grades.   A fabulous 98.5% overall pass rate in 2010 was maintained in 2011 and the AS pass rate rose by over 2%.  BTEC results were similarly impressive with well over two thirds of students achieving high grades of Merit and above.  These results reflect the hard work of over 1200 students, many of whom will now progress to top universities across the country.   

Many of the college’s A Team gained the gold standard A* or Distinction* grade denoting exceptional achievement. Ace subject ICT racked up a total of twelve A*s in the year group.

Students achieving Distinction and Distinction* grades at BTEC and progressing to exciting degree level courses included aptly named River Stewart and Coral Brislen, who will both study Marine Biology.

Scoring a phenomenal five As with two A*s was Andrew Eisenberg.  Eleanor Thomas achieved a fantastic four A grades also with two A*s.  Rebecca Fair gained A*s in all subjects.  Andrew will now travel to Nottingham to study Law.  Eleanor commences a degree in Graphic Design at the Manchester School of Art and Rebecca will read Astrophysics at The University of Liverpool.

Students scoring a terrific three A grades, mostly with one or two A*s included Catherine Stevenson, Saleya Begum, Andrew Billings, Michael Burrows, Gillian Davies, Lewis Houldin, Rebecca Naylor, Charlotte Pearson, Joanne Tripney and Dylan Woolley.

Not to be outdone, a host of AS students achieved top grades.  England Handball player Emily Daly scored three A grades and two Bs while training to represent her country this Summer in Italy.  Max Norman took a step towards achieving his ambition of studying at Harvard with four A grades and other students achieved three A grades.

Best wishes went out from staff to all Birkenhead Sixth Form College students, many of whom gained higher grades than those predicted by GCSE results alone.  Principal Kathryn Podmore said, “The staff and I would like to congratulate the students on their achievements.  The results are exceptionally good this year, with many students exceeding expectations, and progressing to universities or jobs, which will enable them to pursue interesting and exciting careers.  We wish them every success in the future.”
