Top Grades Up at Christ College

Pupils at Christ College achieved the school's third best ever set of A and B grades in this year's A level examinations.

Local pupils, Caitlin Widdows, Heather Wallace, Tamsin Vyvyan-Robinson, Tom Barrett and Rhian Knipe obtained top grades in their subjects. Oxford and Cambridge applicants all achieved their required grades for places at those Universities.

Headmaster, Phillip Jones said: “Once more I am delighted that the hard work of pupils and teachers has been rewarded. I’m particularly pleased that the school continues to anticipate Government demands for pupils to study the ‘hard’, as opposed to ‘soft’, A levels subjects in Maths, Sciences, Languages and simultaneously produce outstanding results where the school’s percentage of A and B grades was the third best ever at 63%.

“I also think it is important to stress that these academic achievements should be seen against a background of Christ College pupils’ full engagement to a high standard in sport, music, drama and other pastoral contributions to the life of the school community.”
