Outstanding A level results at Chestnut Grove Academy

Many congratulations to all our students who received their A level results this morning.

There have been some truly remarkable outcomes and our students have shown themselves yet again at their resilient best.  Notable achievements include Head Student Joe Szemalikowski who met his offer to read History and Politics at Wadham College, University of Oxford and Tilly Sheldon-Ralls who met her offer to read History at St Catharine’s College, University of Cambridge.  In addition, Amman Malik achieved his ambition to study Medicine at Anglia Ruskin University by also meeting his offer.

Of course, students from Chestnut Grove Academy applied to a wide variety of universities and the smiles on their faces this morning on finding out that they had gained entry into their preferred courses and institutions was wonderful to see. 

From the Russell Group of universities to Art Colleges, and from apprenticeship providers to employment opportunities of all kinds, the students have shown their determination to progress onto the pathways of their choice.  Whether entering higher education or further training, taking up an apprenticeship or joining the workforce, we wish all our students the very best of luck as they take their next steps beyond school. 

We are immensely PROUD of you all.
