On results day, Coombe Sixth Form opens its doors to A Level & BTEC students and celebrates success & next steps

This morning, we were delighted to welcome our Year 13 students into school and, as the first year to sit exams assessed to pre-pandemic standards, we are hugely proud of the cohort’s performance. 

Ms Emily Barns, Headteacher of Coombe Girls’ School & Sixth Form, commented: “Our 2023 Sixth Form students, facing their first set of exams since Year 6 SATS, have experienced a challenging two years, alongside all their Year 13 peers across the country. We are immensely proud of all their achievements.” 

Headteacher of Coombe Boys’ School & Sixth Form, Mr David Smith, added:

“The progress this cohort have made as individuals and the dedication they have given to their studies is commendable.

We celebrate their seven-year learning journey today, and wish them success as they embark on their new ventures in the wider world of opportunity.”

Head of Coombe Sixth Form, Mr Rob Smith, said: “We are heartened by the wide variety and range of pathways our students will now be taking. It’s fantastic to see so many of our young people securing first choice university places to continue their studies, and we are also delighted that some students have opted for alternative destinations and routes to progress, such as Veterinary Nursing at Royal Veterinary College, Japanese at SOAS and Television Production at Bournemouth. The ongoing support and dedication of our staff, students and their families has once again been exceptional. We congratulate all our students on their achievements and wish them the very best for the future.”

Mr Giles Jameson, Assistant Head in charge of Coombe Sixth Form vocational subjects commented, “We are particularly delighted with our Level 3 BTEC vocational results where 59% of students achieved top distinction* or distinction grades in their course, and an overall 98% pass rate.  These excellent results have enabled many students to secure their first choice higher education course including Russell Group universities and the Royal Veterinary College.  We are also pleased to see a number of students successfully gaining places on highly competitive degree apprenticeship schemes.”
