Students across Telford and Wrekin celebrate A level results
Students in Telford and Wrekin have received their A level results today (Thursday, 15 August). A large number of students in the borough have passed their A level and other equivalent qualifications such as BTECs and T levels.
Telford & Wrekin Council would like to congratulate students on their results and pay credit to the hard work undertaken by staff.
Newport Girls’ High School is celebrating an outstanding set of A-Level results, including a further increase in the number of A*-A grades and 77% of all grades at A*-B.
Mrs Kate Griffin, Head of Sixth Form, said:
“We are so proud of our students and their achievements this year; they have been a wonderful cohort and we are thrilled to see so many achieve their potential. The results are a testament to their work ethic and commitment to their studies. Many of our students are now leaving NGHS for top universities, whilst others have secured excellent apprenticeships. We wish them every success in their next steps and look forward to hearing what they achieve in the future.”
Telford College is also celebrating another strong set of results for its A level, technical and vocational courses. The percentage of high-grade pass rates from A* to C has risen again, with many students accepted into their first-choice university.
