Jo Richardson School is delighted to announce another year of excellent achievements in A Level and vocational qualifications. The dedication, resilience and hard work of our students have resulted in superb academic success and these results are a testament to the commitment of both students and staff who have navigated the challenges they have faced with determination and adaptability.
Many of our students have achieved A* and A grades in the subjects they studied, including Julia in all her subjects (Economics, Maths and Psychology), Ryan (Computer Science, Maths and Physics) and Lucy (Biology, History and Psychology). Shuweyka achieved the highest possible grade of D*D*D* in her CTEC Health and Social Care course and Ellie exceeded her target grade in every subject she studied.
There are many students who have been offered places at prestigious universities and we are overjoyed that Arturs and Jace have secured a place at Warwick University to study Engineering. In addition to this, Keziah is looking forward to studying Geography with Business at the University of Nottingham and Ruby and Carey are attending King’s College London to study nursing.
Our students have chosen to continue their educational journey by studying a range of subjects at universities across the United Kingdom. We have students studying Aeronautical Engineering, Architecture, English Literature, Accounting and Finance, Commercial Management and Psychology. Students are travelling to Newcastle, Cumbria and Birmingham and many students are choosing to study at London universities.
We are very proud of our students who have successfully achieved apprenticeships. After a long process of applications, interviews and test centres, Ryan is starting a degree apprenticeship in Digital and Technology Solutions with Queen Mary University London and Luka is embarking on a surveying degree apprenticeship with Savills. We are immensely proud of our students achievements.
