A Level students at a top Leeds sixth form are celebrating today as it reveals yet another year of outstanding results with 42 percent of students achieving A*, A, Distinction* or Distinction grades and 67 percent achieving A* to B.
This is significantly above the National Average and sets their students up nicely as they prepare for the next stage of their education.
Oliver Watkins, Director of The Sixth Form at Horsforth, said: “I honestly couldn’t be happier with our results, 38% of all A Levels were A*-A. I want to offer huge congratulations to all the students who worked so hard and will now reap the benefits of that work. I also want to say a massive thank you to the amazing team of staff whose passion and dedication has empowered our students to achieve these results.”
September will see the sixth form’s students go on to study the length and breadth of the country as well as overseas. Student, Niall Langley-Brook, has taken advantage of the Sixth Form’s one-of-a-kind Golf Academy, in partnership with Cookridge Hall Golf Club and has already travelled across the Atlantic to take up his scholarship place at Our Lady of the Lake University in Texas. Here, Niall will get the best of both worlds, studying for a Batchelor’s degree while developing his golfing skills at a world-renowned establishment.
Twins Harry and Adam Smith have outstanding mathematic abilities and have proved this today gaining seven A* and one A grade between them. Harry will now study Medicine at The University of Edinburgh and Adam Engineering at The University of Sheffield – both will make a wonderful asset to the universities.
Many other students have secured exciting apprenticeships and will gain valuable industry experience in diverse sectors, such as automotive engineering with Jaguar and Mercedes and economics at the Government Economic Service.
The Sixth Form at Horsforth is committed to helping students excel in areas they are passionate about, be that academic or extracurricular. A thriving Sixth Form, Horsforth achieved the highest state school A Level results in Leeds in both 2022 and 2023 along with its state-of-the-art campus it offers everything students need to succeed.
