Following on from a recent Ofsted inspection, which praised All Hallows’ culture of high expectation, integrity and ambition, students have once again proved inspectors’ judgment of ‘outstanding’ to be spot on by performing exceptionally well in a wide range of Advanced Level subjects.

The 65 students notched up an overall pass rate of 99.5percent with 36percent at the higher grades A*-B.

An impressive 20percent of all grades were A*, the highest grade at A Level.

These results mean that there is a very high rate of progression to university and a wide range of subject choices based on excellent experiences of subject teaching at A level.

Teachers of mathematics, psychology and art are particularly delighted with the number of students progressing to university to study their subjects and the college is particularly delighted to have a large number of students progressing to universities well known for innovation and research.

Tony Billings, principle at All Hallows, said: “We wish all our students the very best as they continue their academic studies, move into work or take up advanced level modern apprenticeships.

“They have been a wonderful group of young people to work with and they’ve made a great contribution as young leaders at All Hallows.”

The highest performing female student was Harriet Pickup with four A Levels - three A*s and an A - who will be reading chemistry at Liverpool University.

The highest performing male student was Nathan Wanjau with an A* and two As, who will be reading mathematics at Durham University.

The schools head boy and head girl, who have juggled their studies with their leadership roles over the past year, also excelled in their exams.

Sean Maguiness achieved two A*s and a B, and Emma Caine earned herself five A Levels at A*AABC.

Michelle Garvey, assistant principal and head of Sixth Form said: “These students have served All Hallows admirably in their roles of Head Boy and Girl and have set the highest possible standards for leading others and representing the College at all events.”
