Individual approach leads to Academic Excellence at Kent College
18 Aug 2016
A Level Examination results for Summer 2016
Kent College students and staff are celebrating another excellent year for A level results, with over 70% passed at grades A*-B and a 100% pass rate.
Particular congratulations for high levels of academic achievement go to the following top performers at A level:
Frank Radcliffe-Adams, Lotty Astbury, Emma Chu, Samuel Cox, Eloise Gauzan, Thomas Gray, Rahul Gupte, Matthew Lai, Antonio Marelli, Callum Monro, Jonathan Nevett, Nicole Ratti, Sam Sherwood, Ellie Stone, Man Tsoi, Katrina Yao, Matthew Yip, Rosie White.
These results follow IB outcomes which were again excellent. The results will enable access to top universities in the UK and further afield: Head Boy, Sam Hines scored an almost perfect 43 points and will study History at Christchurch, Oxford; Jules Frank gained 42 points and has been awarded a scholarship at prestigious Bocconi University in Milan reading Economics; Greta Milesi achieved 41 points and will follow a Liberal Studies programme at Durham University; and Allyx Guitard scored 40 points and has won a place to study Law at Exeter College, University of Oxford.
Along with top scores in the IB announced in July these A level results secure UCAS points (the basis for university offers) with an average of over 400 per student: the equivalent of A* A* A.
All students gained places at their universities of choice including Oxbridge. Top musicians also performed well: Hannah Parry secured her place at the Royal Academy of Music and Tom Ashdown a place at the Royal Northern College of Music.
News of two former Kent College IB students reached us recently: Thomas Sayer graduated from Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge with a double first in Natural Sciences and Claudia Sanchez Jimenez not only achieved a first from St Hugh’s College, Oxford, but the highest mark that Oxford has ever awarded for a degree in Archaeology and Anthropology. Not surprisingly, both will continue as PhD students.
Head Master, Dr. David Lamper said,
“I am delighted with the very high levels of academic achievement shown by the students who took examinations this summer. They worked extremely hard whilst at the same time adding an immense amount to the extra curricular, musical, dramatic and sporting life of our community. They have been excellent ambassadors of Kent College and they deserve every success. I am also delighted for my colleagues who have worked so hard in supporting and nurturing the development of all our students. Many congratulations to them all.”
