A Bermondsey-based college, which offers both A-level and diploma courses, celebrated their Year 13 students for their results last week.
Most students at St Michael’s Catholic College will be taking up places in their first choice of university or apprenticeship following their successful results day on Thursday, August 17.
The college’s results for Year 13 A-level and CTEC students were above national averages on all measures and even with exam boards returning to 2019 grades they were ‘much higher’ than their results that year.
Achievements at the college in Bermondsey include students taking up places at Oxford to read English Literature, Leeds and Imperial for Engineering, Edinburgh to read History, London School of Economics and Kings to read Maths, Cardiff for Biomedical Science, and Birmingham for Dentistry.
After securing their CTEC diplomas, some students will be starting apprenticeships in areas such as Quantity Surveying and Cyber Security.
Destiny, who achieved triple Distinctions in CTEC Business, said: “I got exactly what I wanted to get. All the time spent studying in the library paid off.”
He will be taking up an apprenticeship in Project Management in September.
Another student, Emily who achieved A*AA will be starting at Oxford University in October. She said: “I feel excited and relieved to have got my place to study English Literature at Oxford.
“I’ll always be grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received at St Michael’s and I’m looking forward to the next stage of my academic career.”
A spokesperson from the college added: “We are proud of all our students who worked so hard and wish them the very best for the future.”
