August saw Newmarket College ‘A' Level students celebrating excellent results. Pass rates of 62% in the higher grades A to C were achieved with two students in particular achieving three A Grades and several others received two As in their chosen subjects. All in all, the results meant that most of our students were able to secure their places in their first choice University. We wish all our Sixth Form students the very best in the future and hope they will come back to let us know how they get on.

GCSE students also achieved fantastic results in this year's exams; 50% of students achieved 5 or more of the higher grades A* to C and 43% including English and Maths. Two of our top performers achieved a fantastic 6A*s and others achieved admirable 3 As. Many of our Year 11 students have been able to go on to the next stage of their learning, whether that be academically or in the more practical, vocational courses with tremendous grounding and confidence.

Two of our top performing students, Magda Lawrynowicz (year 11) and Alexander Weissburd (Year 12), achieved outstanding results in their chosen subjects; both only came to this country last September, from Poland and Germany respectively; and as Alexander was originally from Russia, English is his third language!
