Abbey students achieve their best results ever!

Students collecting their results showed the usual mixture of emotions, from nervous expectation, to joy and in some cases ecstatic disbelief, in what emerged from their individual envelopes. Parents and staff celebrated in the young people’s success and achievement across a wide range of subjects and courses. The College’s motto of ‘Believe, Achieve, Succeed’ instantly became a reality and shone across so many proud happy faces today.

The College is hugely proud of all those students who sat and achieved such a high level of success. Congratulations must go to the teaching staff, mentors and course tutors, all of whom have worked tirelessly over the past two years to help our young people to get over the line and achieve their potential. 

We are thrilled that 96% of our Year 12 students achieved the magic target of 5+A*-C grades, with 74% of all our Year 12 students reaching the 7+ A*- C GCSEs. All in all, the results from Abbey students continue to rise year on year, a massive 30% increase over the results from this time a year ago. The College, students, parents and families can be rightly proud in what they have achieved and the doors that so many of those young people have now opened for themselves into the future.

The highest achievers amongst the many successes were:

Jonathan Edge             1A* 1A  7B’s 3C*’s
Jodie McCord               2A’s 7B’s 2C*s 1C
Louise McCracken       5B’s 1C* 6C’s
Robert Gourley             6B’s 4C* 2C’s
David Graham              6B’s 1C* 5C’s

These young people can now look to the next step with confidence as they have the results to build a bright future. Many have already signed up to return to Abbey Community College to continue their academic pathway in A Level courses. Others will take vocational routes and for some the world of work beckons. We as a College want to wish all of our Year 12 students, whatever path they choose, continued success and good luck. The Principal, Mrs. Quinn, governors and staff wish to acknowledge the contribution to the college community and bid these young people every good wish and god speed for the future.

If any prospective year 13 students wish to discuss our A Level options, please contact the College on 028 9086 7431 during office hours.
