Rushcliffe Spencer Academy is celebrating another outstanding year of A Level results, with over 30% of grades awarded at A* or A and 34 students achieving straight A*/A grades across all subjects studied. As a result, students are now progressing to leading universities, competitive degree apprenticeships and other ambitious destinations.
Among the many individual successes today are Anish Anand, who will be reading Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the University of Oxford, after achieving A*AA. We also celebrate the exceptional achievements of twins Edward and James Banfield who achieved A*A*A and AAB respectively and will continue their studies at The University of Oxford and Durham University. Other notable results include Siena Russell A*AA who plans to study Medicine at the University of Nottingham and Loic Sutton AAA who has secured a prestigious Degree Apprenticeship in Engineering with AECOM.
Students have also achieved impressive outcomes in vocational subjects. Poppy Bassford achieved a Distinction* in Health and Social Care and is looking forward to studying Fashion Communication at Manchester Metropolitan University. Sebastian Marriott also achieved AB Distinction* and plans to continue his studies in Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying at Loughborough University.
The Academy is always delighted to celebrate the successes of the students who join Rushcliffe Sixth Form from other schools and who go on to achieve incredible results. This year, these include Charlie Ziegler, who achieved A*AA and plans to attend the University of Nottingham to study Medicine and Chloe Dudley A*AA who will join the University of Manchester to read Psychology. The Academy’s highly inclusive culture and strong academic support help new students settle quickly, develop confidence, and achieve excellent outcomes.
Principal, Sarah Sismey said “We are incredibly proud of this cohort of students and all they have achieved. These results are a reflection of years of commitment, hard work and determination and I would like to pay tribute to them, alongside their families who have supported them throughout and our dedicated staff team who have expertly guided them every step of the way. Whether progressing to university, apprenticeships or employment, they leave us with the skills, confidence and the ambition to succeed. I know they will continue to shine brightly, and I look forward to seeing all they achieve in the future.”
