Sixth form students at St Mary’s Catholic College, Wallasey, are preparing to progress on their chosen future pathways after receiving their A-level, T-level and BTEC results today [Thursday, 13 August].
This year’s cohort of students have shown dedication and determination towards their studies with support from the sixth form’s excellent staff, and today’s results perfectly embody the school’s vision of working together to succeed together.
Students taking vocational subjects at St Mary’s Catholic College, a proud member of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, have performed half a grade higher than students nationally, securing an average grade of Merit+.
With strong results secured this morning, all students at St Mary’s have accessed their chosen destinations, including Amaia McCrystal who is heading to Durham University after achieving A, B, B in religious studies, history and psychology respectively.
The school’s head students, who have acted as role models for students in the lower years, have also continued to set a fantastic example. Lily-May Rimmer achieved Distinction* and Distinction in health and social care, and a C in sociology, while Nathan Smathers achieved Merits across the board in media, business and ICT.
Other notable successes include Ashley Shaw, who achieved Distinctions in business and double ICT, and will be joining Liverpool Edge Hill University in September to study computer science.
Lily Lloyd and Roisin Keane are both progressing to Edge Hill University to study primary teaching. Lily achieved a Distinction* in health and social care, Distinction in child development and a C in psychology, and Roisin secured a Merit in T-level education and early years.
Head of sixth form, Mrs Sarah Witan, said: “It has been wonderful to welcome our students back into school to recognise their efforts and celebrate all they have achieved, both academically and personally. The results students have received today are a true reflection of the dedication and commitment they have demonstrated during their two years of study, and are so very well deserved.
“I am incredibly proud of each and every one of them, and wish them all the luck and success as they prepare to begin the next exciting chapter in their journey.”
Mr Kevin Maddocks, headteacher, added: “Congratulations to all students who have received their A-level and BTEC results. It has been a delight to witness the smiles and celebrations from students, family members and staff in school this morning, who have worked together in partnership to secure these outstanding outcomes. On behalf of St Mary’s staff and governors, as well as the wider Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, I would like to wish all students the very best as they progress to their chosen destinations.”
