Barton Peveril principal, Jonathan Prest, said: “This year’s results underline the consistently high achievements of students leaving Barton Peveril. Congratulations to them all!
“These young people go out into the worlds of higher education, apprenticeships and employment with strong academic profiles but also the broader knowledge and confidence that will enable them to succeed in their chosen careers.”
The college boasts a 76% A* to C pass rate at A-level and overall pass rate of 98.3% for students taking A-levels, while the Extended Project sits in line with results for the past seven years.
Barton Peveril says 67% of those taking the Extended Project attained A* to B grades, while more than 100 students achieved at least two A/A* grades in their A-levels, setting them up for places at the most selective universities.
In vocational courses students achieved a 100% overall pass rate with 75% receiving distinction grades – equivalent to A* to B at A-level – in Business, Sport, Media, IT, Health & Social Care and the Performing Arts.
