Two Arnewood students are off to study at Oxford University – a success story among many as the New Milton school celebrates its best set of top grade A-level results.
Tegan Gears and Rachel Robinson scored A*s across the board to fulfil their aspiration of studying at the dreamy spires of Oxford.
Their triumph capped off what has been a very successful A-level results day for The Arnewood School.
More than half of its students – 52% — achieved A* to B grades (up five per cent on last year).
Nearly one in five (19%) achieved A*s and As and the average grade for all this year’s students exceeded C.
Overall the pass rate was 99.5%.
Headteacher, Nigel Pressnell, said: “This is a fantastic set of results and continues the year-on-year upward trend of our sixth form for getting the very best results out of our students.
“Every student should be proud of their achievements which have been borne out of their hard work and dedication.”
