Despite going into the third national lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Plymouth College pupil community have excelled in their remote learning, especially our entire Sixth Form, who have continued to complete their A Level coursework that will count towards their final grades.
Our Upper Sixth cohort has impressed us all with not only the amount of conditional and unconditional offers that they have received, but also the subjects that they wish to study and the vast amount of Russell Group and highly respected institutions that have offered our Upper Sixth the next step of their academic journeys.
For last year’s Head Girl, Emma Andrews, and fellow Plymouth College alumni Ella Bean, Eliza Prosser, Joseph Thompson and Alex Rose, there have been unconditional offers from universities such as University College London, Cardiff University, Cardiff Met, University of Stirling and University of Plymouth. The courses that they have chosen to study include Business Economics, Business Management, Natural Sciences and Biomedical Science.
For this year’s Upper Sixth, we have also had unconditional as well as conditional offers to study at university. These pupils include Eva Mackenzie, who has received an unconditional offer to study Fashion at Bath Spa and Molly Antrobus, who has received an unconditional offer to study Sport Conditioning at Cardiff Met. We have also had unconditional offers from University of Plymouth go to Sebastian Tustain to study Business Management, Joseph Davies to study Psychology and Maisie Elliott to study Criminology and Criminal Justice.
To join the success in these university offers, we have had over 70 conditional offers from Russell Group universities such as Kaden Kwok, who has received a conditional offer to study Architecture at University of Nottingham and Queen’s University Belfast and our Head Boy, Henry Dean, has received a conditional offer from University of York to study Business Management. Joining them is Upper Sixth boarder, Alireza Maleki, and Upper Sixth Day pupil, Zoe Lancaster. Alireza has received conditional offers from all of his Russell Group choices, including the University of Birmingham and University of Sheffield and Zoe has received conditional offers from University of Durham, University of Exeter and University of Cambridge to study Modern and Medieval Languages.
In addition to all of our university success, the plethora of pupils that have chosen to study subjects that they are truly passionate about - including our Upper Sixth pupil, Harry Wannell, who chose to study Business Management due to his love for entrepreneurship and even starting his own business re-selling vintage clothing and making a profitable turnover. His passion for business and hard work has resulted in him receiving a conditional offer from Russell Group university, The University of Southampton.
It is safe to say that the Plymouth College university applicants have worked incredibly hard over the last two years and especially during the COVID pandemic. We know that all of our pupils will go on to achieve, be the best that they can be and be amazing representatives of Plymouth College.
