Students at Mark Rutherford School are extremely pleased with their A Level results despite the challenges this academic year has brought due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commenting on the results, Mrs Foster, Deputy Headteacher and Director of Sixth Form said: “We are very proud of the students and the resilience they have shown through such unprecedented times with the majority moving on to their first choice options of university or apprenticeships.”
“Those moving on to university have secured a number of competitive places to read a wide range of subjects.
“The majority of the subjects we offer were achieved with a 100% pass rate. The percentage of A* and A grades also saw an increase on last year; over 38% of all students achieved at least one A* or A grade.
“A number of subjects achieved excellent results including: Spanish, French, Music, Further Maths and English Literature with 100% A*-C grades.”
“We always look forward to hearing from the students and their successes as they start the next phase of their journey as confident and independent young adults.
