New College Doncaster students have seen another year of strong results, supporting students to progress to university, apprenticeships and employment.
This year, 54.6% of students achieved an A*, A or B in their A Level courses, with 79.0% achieving A*-C. Overall, 99.3% of students passed their A-level courses. These results compare very favourably to national rates.
Students on Applied General courses, such as Level 3 BTEC courses, also delivered exceptional results, with a 99.7% pass rate and 69.4% achieving a distinction or distinction*, the highest grades available on these courses.
All of these figures may improve slightly as exam boards process requests for exam reviews. New College Doncaster has a strong track record of students outperforming those with similar GCSE results at a national level, with very high value added scores for both A Level and Applied General Courses.
“We are tremendously proud of students,” said Brendon Fletcher, New College Principal. “It has been a pleasure to see our students celebrating their results together after two years of hard work. We are also proud of the inclusive and supportive environment at New College Doncaster and the way in which different students come together from across the region and from across different communities.”
“This student success is underpinned by the enthusiasm, energy, skill and persistence of the staff team who work so hard to support our students. We know the difference that a high-quality education makes to the lives of young people, which is why seeing their success is always so gratifying.”
“We are delighted to celebrate the successes of young people within our communities,” said Richard Fletcher, CEO of New Collaborative Learning Trust which oversees the college. “These results mean that young people will have more opportunities in the future, have better access to courses and jobs, helping to improve life outcomes and to support social mobility.”
