The academic achievement of the students’ further builds on the enviable reputation which the College enjoys as one of the highest achieving Sixth Form providers in Hampshire.
This summer’s Year 13 cohort saw 51% of the students achieve A*-B in three or more A Levels. Of particular note were the ten students (15% of the year group) who achieved three or more A* or A grades each. First amongst these was Ben F. who attained four A* grades. Ben will go onto Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge University to read Natural Sciences. Also worthy of particular mention are Robert B. and Sam R. who each attained 2A*s and 1A and will both go onto Durham University to read General Engineering and History respectively and Alexander G. (Economics, Exeter) and Oliver T. (Mechanical Engineering, Bath) also both attained 2A*s and 1A. Also in the top grades were Rowan C. (Biochemistry, York) and Max W. (Medicine, Exeter) with 1A* and 2 A grades each. Ben K. (Geography, Newcastle), Sam M. (Mechanical Engineering, Nottingham), Joseph N. (History & Ancient History, Exeter), Callum S. (Physics and Astro-Physics, King’s College London), Sam W. (Flexible Combined Honours, Exeter) and Tamara D. (Physiotherapy) all achieved the equivalent of 3 A grades. A good number more students achieved grades AAB and all of these, along with the vast majority of their colleagues, will be taking up places at an impressive range of top universities this autumn.
The Headmaster, Mr Gerard Owens, congratulated students on their achievements, “Salesian College is proud to have a Sixth Form which provides a wide range of opportunities alongside the achievement of outstanding academic results. I congratulate all our young men and women who have added so much to the life of the College. Whilst we rightly congratulate our students who have attained the top grades, it is equally important to celebrate the achievements of all of the students who have worked so hard to maximise their potential and meet their respective university offers. I thank the staff for all their hard work and commitment to student success. I wish all of our leaving students the very best of luck as they progress to university and I look forward to seeing them back on Prize Night on the 14th November."
