WELLINGTON School sixth formers are once again celebrating their superb personal achievements in their A Level and BTEC results.

For the second year in a row, all medicine and veterinary applicants have been offered places and achieved the top grades of As and A*s in all subjects to secure their places in these highly competitive courses.

Eight students have secured A*s or As in all subjects and almost a third of all students achieved A* and A grades.

The school anticipates that those going onto university will be accepted into either their first or second choice.

BTEC Sport students have once again excelled too, with a plethora of Distinction or Distinction* grades to be proud of across the board.

For example, Issy is leaving the school with four England U18 Women’s Rugby caps and has now backed this up by gaining top grades in two A Levels and BTEC Sport, securing her dream to go to Loughborough University, whilst continuing to play elite rugby and study Sports Technology.

A school spokesperson said: “The overall destinations of our students are as wide ranging as their personal interests, reflective of their self-belief and ambition and our desire to be as bespoke in our support of them as possible.
