Students and staff at Hagley Catholic High School are once again celebrating an outstanding set of A Level results this summer.

Almost half of the students achieved A*-B grades in their three academic A Level subjects, with almost all students able to progress to their chosen university or apprenticeship pathway.

The top performers include Sean Mullins, who gained 2 A* and 2 A grades and will be studying electrical and railway engineering at Birmingham University, and Philip Sadler who achieved an 2 A*, 2A’s and a B is heading to Oxford University to read English literature. Chloe Riley also will be pursuing a tennis scholarship in the United States having achieved an A*, 2 A’s and a B.

Principal Suzanne Horan said: “I am absolutely thrilled for all of our students. These results reflect their hard work and dedication throughout the last two years. 

"I am sure that they would agree, however, that they could not have achieved such success without the unrelenting support and encouragement from their families and the school.

"It has been a pleasure to see students and staff working together to produce such tremendous achievement. We are both delighted and proud to see so many students securing places at university or on prestigious apprenticeships and we wish our wonderful students well as they embark upon the next stage of their journey.”

North Bromsgrove High School’s Sixth Form students also gained their A Level results today.

Sam Faulkner will read French at Keble College, Oxford University, after achieving an exceptional A*AA set of results.

He said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at North and I’m delighted to finish on such a high note.”

Head of Sixth Form, Sarah Figg, said: “We are delighted for Sam, who has worked with commitment and dedication throughout his time with us at North Bromsgrove High School. We wish him, and all of our year 13 students, the very best for their futures. Given the uncertainty concerning A Level reforms, we are pleased to report stable results, which build on our successes of recent years.”
