Verulam students who received their A-level and Level 3 BTEC exam results today have secured places at university, college or apprenticeships.
Special mention to School Captain Tom Roffe who achieved A* grades in mathematics, geography and physics and is going to Durham University to study engineering. Tom has been an excellent student leader at Verulam and his hard work and dedication have paid off with outstanding academic achievement.
Other notable students with A* grades included Charlie Waters (two As and an A) who is reading philosophy/politics/law at Warwick, Harrison May (two As and an A) reading law at Sheffield and Toby Southcombe (two As, an A and a B) studying electrical engineering with space science at Bath. Philip Glenister achieved AAB grades and is studying geography at Exeter. Ben Hale and Alex Evershed both achieved two As and a B grade and are studying economics at Sheffield and accounting and finance at Leeds respectively.
It was also a successful day for those who studied BTEC vocational qualifications with all students achieving a pass or better and more than 20 Distinction and Distinction* grades in business, sport and creative digital nedia. A number of students are undertaking degree apprenticeships as a competitive alternative to university.
Headteacher Fergal Moane said “We are proud of our students and particularly that the overwhelming majority of students achieved the grades necessary to study at their first choice university, college or apprenticeship.
“This cohort really supported each other and the wider community through leadership, charitable fundraising and mental health. Not only have they achieved highly in academic terms, they have become the best version of themselves and are well prepared for the step into adulthood. Thanks to all of my staff and parents and carers who were there to support them.”
