A Rotherhithe college celebrated their A-level results, which included two students getting into Oxford and top grades for A* or A for 30 per cent of those taking their exams.
Celebrations were in order at Bacon’s College as sixth formers received their A-level and equivalent vocational results.
This year, an impressive 30 per cent of all A-level entries at the school were awarded the top grades of A* or A.
These outcomes have seen many students secure their first-choice university offers, including two Year 13s who have secured places at the University of Oxford.
Danielle Agiri will be taking up a place to read English Language and Literature at St Edmund Hall College after achieving an A* and two As, while Finn Ashworth will be joining St Catherine’s College to read Geography after achieving straight As.
Head Boy Finn said of his Oxford offer: “I’m leaving Bacon’s College knowing that the teachers and those around me helped to get the very best out of me and I really appreciate everybody involved for that.”
He added that he’s really looking forward to going to Oxford and that he feels ‘well prepared’ because of attending Bacon’s.
James Wilson, Principal at Bacon’s College, said all the staff are ‘immensely proud’ of the student’s success.
“Their achievements are a culmination of years of hard work and determination and reflect the character each of them has shown in their studies.
“It is particularly gratifying as ever to see so many of them secure the results they need to gain entry to their first choice universities, including some of the most competitive in the country.”
