The Arnewood School in New Milton is celebrating some of its best set of A-level results – with more than a quarter of its students getting A* or A grades.
Overall 99.5% of Arnewood students passed their A-levels by achieving A* to E grades.
But it was the large number achieving the highest marks, which has given the school huge cause for celebration.
In total, 26% scored A* to A grades, while more than half (54%) came away with A* to B grades.
Headteacher, Nigel Pressnell, said: “These results surpass our 2017 achievements, which was also a very incredibly successful year for the school.
“This success is testament to the hard work of all our staff and students and I am incredibly proud of them all.
“The consistently high standards of our sixth form place us in the national top 25% of providers.”
A-level results day: Katherine Charles (A* x 3) and Raff Hussey (A* A B) received their A level results at Arnewood.
Some of Arnewood’s notable achievers include Katherine Charles, Lara Hellsten and Samantha Fagan who all scored three A*s.
Katherine is going on to study General Engineering at Durham, Lara will be going to Cardiff University School of Medicine and Samantha is also going to Cardiff to study Engineering.
The Arnewood School has a long standing successful partnership with the Trento region in Italy where students come and study AS level qualifications.
This year one of the students, Marco Endrizzi, decided to stay an additional year and complete his A levels. Marco achieved an A*, two As and a B.
He is staying in the UK to read Data Science at Nottingham University.
The weather did not rain on their parade as Aimee Douglass, Kaylyn Snelgrove and Abbey Jones pick up their results at Arnewood on A Level results day.
