Blue Coat Head's delight following another year of 'wonderful' A level results

Students at Blue Coat School celebrated an excellent set of A level results today.

With results returning to pre-pandemic levels this year, students at the Oldham school continued to achieve results significantly higher than students across the country.

Headteacher Rob Higgins said: "We are absolutely delighted with the results our students have achieved this year.

"This is the first set of external examinations that this cohort of students has ever sat and the challenge of your first exam to be a rigorous and robust A Level paper, is one that should not be underestimated.

"It’s wonderful to see the students achieve the results they deserve and have worked hard for.

"This year we’ve had success across all subjects which is great to see.

"Once again, our students have achieved top grades in the STEM subjects, humanities, social sciences, languages and across a wide range of practical subjects, which is testament to the broad curriculum that students can study at Blue Coat.

"As a result, our students have now secured places on the most competitive courses at the most competitive universities to study a wide range of subjects on the next stage of their journey.

"It has also been pleasing to see how many of our students have taken up degree apprenticeships this year, particularly with our local business partners who we now have established employment pathways with.

"I would like to thank the staff at Blue Coat for all the hard work, pastoral care and support that they have provided for this cohort.

"I’d also like to thank the families of our students for all the encouragement and reassurance that they have given them – it really is a team effort.

"We wish every single one of our students the very best for the future and have no doubt that they will continue to make us proud in their future achievements."

As well as collective success, there were also some individual students with exceptional results.

Jiya Dhoot achieved 4A* grades and will now go onto study Maths with Physics at Warwick University.

Jack Buckley (3A*), Ethan Penny (3A*) and Phoebe Broster (A*,A,A) all secured places at Oxford.

Jack will study Computer Science, Ethan will study Philosophy, Politics and Economics and Phoebe will study History.

Shyla Kahn and Neha Toqeer also achieved A* grades in every subject and will both study medicine at university along with Keisha Kobusingye and Ishaq Ahmed.
