Plymouth College is celebrating this morning with nearly half of its A Level results coming in at A grade - the A grade pass rate of 46% is an outstanding 16% increase on last year. At 72%, the equally-impressive A/B pass rate is up 13% and the overall pass rate is up 2% to 98%.
Anthony Comyn, Edward Day, Ben Piggot and Kevin Yeung all gained a remarkable four A grades, while nearly one in four pupils achieved at least three top grades, including elite swimmer Emma Wilkins who represented Great Britain in the World Championships earlier this summer.
Anthony and Kevin, along with Tom Norris, all achieved maximum marks (600/600) and the top score in the country, in the Edexcel Economics and Business Studies A Level. Edward Day was close behind in 4th position with a mark of 598/600. This is the third consecutive year Plymouth College has clinched the top mark and out of the eight years this syllabus has been running, Plymouth College has produced the top student in the country an incredible six times!
Headmaster, Dr Simon Wormleighton, said: “My warmest congratulations to all our students on their examination success. I am delighted to see such an excellent set of results and I would like to pass on my thanks to the teaching staff for their continued commitment and hard work, which has helped our students to reach such a high level of achievement.”
