Outwood Post 16 Centre celebrates another successful A-Level results day

Once again, students have demonstrated two years of incredible resilience, dedication and academic excellence, achieving impressive grades across a wide range of subjects. Many students have secured places at universities of their choice, while others are embarking on exciting apprenticeships and employment opportunities.

The centre saw an average increase of 5% across all grades. There were highlights for the Post 16 Centre in A-level Mathematics where over 53% of students achieved a grade B or higher. In A-level Business, just over 45% of the students achieved a grade B or higher and just over 50% in A-level History achieved A* - B.

Mrs Shea, Head of Centre at Outwood Post 16 Centre said: “The determination of our students over the last 2 years has been nothing short of inspirational. We are extremely proud of their achievements and so happy that they can now enjoy their success together. Their teachers and support staff have been supporting their aspirations and we are excited to see what they achieve in the future.”
