Plymouth College has published another great set of A Level results this morning. One in eight pupils have achieved at least three A grades with half of these gaining four or more top grades. The pass rate remains strong at 97% with an A*-B pass rate of 68%, up 3 percentage points on last year and up 7 percentage points on 2010.
Top performers include Head Boy Ed Hirst and Leon Chen, who both achieved an impressive 3 A*s and one A grade each. Arthur Yau came away with 4As and 1 B, Nelson Ng with 1A*, 2 As and 1 B, Lucy Beighton with 2 A*s and 1 A, Anneliese Noakes with 1A* and 2 As, Sarah Jeffery with 3 As and Michael Daniel with 3 As and 1B - Michael also achieved an A in the DipFS.
Just days after his bronze medal success in London 2012, diver Tom Daley adds an A in Spanish to the A* in Photography he picked up last year. He will return to Plymouth College in September to complete his Maths A Level and to study Spanish at a higher level.
"I am delighted to see such an excellent set of A Level results", said Headmaster, Dr Simon Wormleighton. "All our students should be very proud of what they have achieved. 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. We have a busy and vibrant sixth form community and it is extremely rewarding to see them do so well. "
