Top Marks for Cheshire East Students

 

Sixth formers in Cheshire East have yet again recorded an outstanding set of A-level results.

With all schools’ results but one now confirmed, projections are that Cheshire East’s 1,600 students have recorded a 97.6 per cent pass rate – identical to the national figure – which is one per cent higher than the previous year.

Provisional figures show that sixth formers achieved an average points score of 817, compared with 751 recorded on results day last year.

More than a quarter of students achieved grades of A* – introduced this year – and A.

Councillor Hilda Gaddum, Cabinet member with responsibility for children and families, said: “Each year it becomes harder to improve on previous levels of achievement, yet I am delighted to report that Cheshire East students appear to have done just that.

“This exceptional performance is a just reward for the hard work, dedication and enthusiasm shown by students and staff. My congratulations go to them all.

“Education continues to be a priority in Cheshire East and we are proud that our results remain among the best in the country.

“I wish all our A-level students every success in the path they intend to follow, whether that is further education, training or employment.

“For those whose results are not all they had hoped for, our sixth form staff are there to provide support, encouragement and guidance on the options open to them.”
