FROME College has congratulated its A-level and GCSE students, hailing their exam results as ‘the best grades’ the college has ever seen.
Principal Emma Reynolds said, “We are incredibly proud of the achievements and progress of all our students as they receive outstanding GCSE and A-level results.
“Our young people should be applauded for all the years of academic work at College; we are delighted to have so many success stories to share this year. We always knew that these year groups and these individual students would make the most progress and achieve the best grades our college has ever seen. These results are a fair and just reflection of the work we all put into college life: students, families, governors and staff.
“Amongst our many Year 13 individual successes special mention must go to Grace Lindley, Ellie Richards, Barney Nuttall, Millie Barton, Mikaela Forrester, Arwen Wilkie, Tom Maccallum, Mikolaj Greszta, Tramaine Hughes and Kitty Peyton who between them achieved 27 A /A*grades and made tremendous progress over their 6th form careers here at Frome College.
“We are especially pleased with our brilliant A level results in Art, Computing, Photography, Religion and Philosophy, Economics, Graphics, French and Drama- all of which attained a full 100% A*-C. Indeed in Art, Photography, Maths and Drama more than 45% of grades were at the very highest level of A*/A. This is an incredibly talented group of creative young people who deservedly receive these results.
“An equally fantastic set of results have been received by year 11, demonstrating the dedication and positive attitude of this year group. Particular congratulations for excellent progress must go to: Ella Breese, Esme Burgess-Brown, Josephine Cowley, Scott Douglas, Ella Evans, Bethany Fairhurst, Emily Hamblin, Georgia Hirons, Ethan Horn, Jacob Howell, Lottie Jones, Thomas Longhurst, Onni Macleay, Owen Marsh, Mary McClean, Lily L. Morgan, Jack J. Norris, William Norris, Hannah Oddy, Lydia Powell, Lucas Richards, Josh Seviour, Gus Slade and Brad Spicer.
“Our top performers: Madeline Blackburn, Holly Gilson, Olive Keech and Ruby Young between them achieved grade 9, the highest possible, in 30 subjects. Louise Benson, Andrei Bujor, Laura Curle, Alisha Fewell, Harry Forrester, Orrin Keep, Eva Morrissey, Oliver Robinson and Louis Walker all achieved a grade 7 or higher in all their subjects, an amazing accomplishment.
“Finally, and disappointingly, the government have failed to sort out the BTEC results in time for release today which means our students still have to wait for these valuable qualifications. As soon as we are able, we will email BTEC results to our students.
“We look forward to warmly welcoming our new year 12 into sixth form on Monday 7th September and year 13 back to college on Wednesday 9th September. Above all, we wish all of our leavers the very best of luck for a bright future.”
