LIKE students all over the country the AS, A2 and one year A Level students at Bosworth Independent College received their examination results last month.
With 72 per cent of final grades being A*, A or B, yet again, the college far exceeded the national average.
The college offered its congratulations to all students that achieved the grades to move to the next stage of their careers but in particular to 12 students that achieved A or A* grades in all their subjects. These include Evan Penn (pictured below) who achieved A* in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry and will be going to Durham University to study Mathematics.
For many, it is the last stage in their university application which started at least two years ago with the finalising of AS subject choices and continued with completion of UCAS forms, personal statements, university visits and interviews. They are now busy buying duvet covers and making final travel plans.
Nationally, A Level results were slightly down this year and this could be a reflection on the tightening up of opportunities to re-sit modules. New syllabuses in most subjects will start being taught from September 2015 which will mean students will be sitting exams that test everything they have learnt in two years rather than exams being separated into AS and A2 as they are now.
This will potentially make studying at this level even more challenging. It will be interesting to see if these changes impact on results in the future and if the downward national trend continues.
Although at first glance it may seem that changing the parameters makes it unfair, all students within the year group will be treated in the same way.
However, it is important that schools keep up with these demands, so they can guide students through these changing times.
