Coombe Sixth Form celebrates 2024's strong progress & highest grades in five years as students embark on exciting & varied next steps
We are delighted to announce Year 13’s strong progress across their exam results, with students securing our highest grades in standard external exams, surpassing our 2019 results, and with a quarter of grades awarded at A/A* in A-Levels and BTECs. We congratulate the class of 2024 on their success and accomplishments.
Across the curriculum, subjects surpassed our Sixth Form’s pre-pandemic results and standards, providing a robust springboard for students’ next steps.
We are also pleased that students have chosen to study a wide variety of courses, with many selecting subjects that support their interests and passions - for example, Interior Design and Comic and Concept Art - as well as others embarking on STEM courses, such as Medicine, Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering.
Ms Emily Barns, Headteacher of Coombe Girls’ School & Sixth Form, said: “I am incredibly proud of this cohort and the high grades they have deservedly achieved. Their success has been attained in no small part through their resilience and determination. Particular congratulations to those who have achieved their results whilst overcoming some personal challenges. The students’ dedication to enhancing and supporting our school community - for example, establishing and running our brilliant Culture Day events and their involvement in PFA projects - will leave a lasting impression on our school and staff. I would also like to thank our teachers for providing such a rich and rewarding programme, including trips, guest speakers, work experience and extensive careers classes, alongside great subject knowledge and creating the very best foundations for Year 13.”
Headteacher of Coombe Boys’ School & Sixth Form, Mr David Smith, added: “It has been wonderful to be able to celebrate the many successes that our students have achieved. The variety of educational pathways has enabled students to study in a manner that has best suited their individual needs and has provided the opportunity for students to realise their true potential. We are all very proud of what they have become and know that they now have the foundations to embark on a lifetime of learning, discovery and accomplishment. We wish them all the very best for the future.”
Head of Coombe Sixth Form (Clarence Avenue Campus), Mrs Rebecca Gates, commented: “We're very proud of our students, what they have achieved and the progress that they have made this year. This year’s cohort were such a fantastic community of tenacious, resilient, thoughtful and kind students who have left a lasting impact on the school and the staff who have worked with them. We are excited for the range of courses they are going to study and look forward to welcoming them back to tell us about their future careers.”
Mr Giles Jameson, Head of Coombe Sixth Form (College Garden Campus), who leads on vocational subjects, said: “We are delighted to announce that a record 60% of vocational students achieved a Distinction*/Distinction grades this year; a results trend that has been improving year on year over the last four years. These excellent results are a testament to the dedication, hard work of our students and their ability to take advantage of all opportunities available to them. We are very proud that these results have acted as a springboard in enabling our students to secure their first choice higher education course, including Russell Group Universities as well as highly competitive degree apprenticeship schemes.”
Coombe Sixth Form is pleased that students have once more demonstrated great resilience and we continue to focus on providing the essential role of supporting our young people to build foundations for successful futures.
