A Level Results

St Joseph’s Sixth Form Eclipse Previous Records to Mark the End to an Impressive Year

Students at St Joseph’s Sixth Form, part of St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust, have once again smashed records with the highest ever A Level results in the school’s history.

An incredible 25% of all A Level exams sat achieved A*-A grades, with an equally impressive 48% receiving A*-B grades.

Success wasn’t limited to A Levels alone, with an amazing 72.7% of BTEC students achieving Distinction*-Merit grades, and 48% of Extended Project Qualification grades coming in at A*-A.

Kelly Riddles, Head Teacher, said: “We couldn’t be happier to celebrate these thoroughly well-deserved results with them today. To achieve the highest A*-A grades in our school’s history is a wonderful accomplishment and testament to what our young people can achieve when they believe in themselves and are supported to fulfil their potential.

“I am incredibly proud of this cohort of students. These results have not happened by accident. Our students have worked tirelessly alongside their teachers, showing extraordinary determination, resilience and ambition.

“As a proudly non-selective school, we believe passionately that excellence should be open to every young person. Today is a wonderful example of our mission of ‘Unlocking Belief in All’ becoming a reality.”

Other notable achievements today include:

• Isabelle Pace – 3 x A*s
• Ethan Fernandes – 2 x A*s, A, B
• Milan Iwanowski – A*, A, A
• Julia Lichosyt - A*, A, A

• Joel Manalody – A, A, B
• Warrick Passos-Wiggs – A, A, B

Among the beaming faces today were Cameron Fyfe, whose triple A*s have seen him secure a place to read Chemistry at Oxford and Nicola Szuba whose four A*s grades mean she will be reading Psychological and Behavioural Sciences at Cambridge come September – the school’s first ever Oxbridge scholars!

The results also come at the end of a year where the school has been praised by Ofsted and seen students engage in a raft in of trips, experiences and opportunities.

Ms Riddles added: “Results days are about so much more than statistics. They are the culmination of every that a school offers to inspire the minds of our young people.  Behind every grade is a young person, a family and a team of staff who have supported them along the way. Today, above everything else, we celebrate our students and the exciting futures that now lie ahead of them.”

St Joseph's Catholic High School students celebrate exceptional GCSE results

Students, staff and families at St Joseph's Catholic High School, part of St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust, celebrated an outstanding set of GCSE results today, with a wealth of students securing outstanding grades across a wide range of subjects.

Kelly Riddles, Headteacher, said: "I could not be prouder of this incredible group of young people. It has been an absolute joy celebrating with our students and their families today and seeing the excitement as they open the results they have worked so hard to achieve.

"These results are exceptional. Early indications show our highest ever Progress 8 score of +0.78 and an Attainment 8 score of 52.68, alongside 56% of students achieving a grade 5 or above in both English and Maths and 76% achieving a grade 4 or above. There is so much for our whole school community to celebrate.

"But behind every statistic is a young person who has worked incredibly hard. This year group have given everything to their studies, supported every step of the way by teachers and families who have believed in them and encouraged them to succeed.”

There were some notable individual successes today too.

Mikah Aungon and Patrick Lopez led the way with six Grade 9s apiece – Mikah adding three further Grade 8s, and Patrick securing two more 8s and two 7s. Kamila Cebulska achieved five Grade 9s alongside three 8s and a 7, while Vanessa Bryk secured four Grade 9s and several further 8s.

A number of other students also achieved excellent results. Oliver Kroliczek and Mateusz Stroczynski each achieved two Grade 9s, alongside several further 8s and 7s. Amellia Pace also achieved a Grade 9, together with a strong collection of 8s and 7s, as did Branson Pereira with two Grade 9s and several 8s and 7s. Maksymilian Wedrzyk combined a Grade 9 with five Grade 8s and other strong results, and Lucas Passos achieved a Grade 9 alongside multiple 8s and 7s and a Distinction*2.

Vanessa Bryk's achievements extended beyond GCSE, with a Distinction* in Cambridge National Child Development seeing her recognised by Cambridge OCR, one of the UK's leading awarding bodies, as one of the top-performing students in the country in the subject – a fantastic individual achievement for Vanessa and for the school.

Ms Riddles added: "As a proudly non-selective school, we believe passionately in unlocking the potential of every young person. Today's results demonstrate just what our students can achieve through ambition, determination and hard work. They thoroughly deserve this success, and I couldn't be happier for them."
