Avonbourne Sixth Form is celebrating an excellent set of A-level results – with an increase in the number of students achieving the top A* to C grades.
Overall, 95% passed their A-levels, with 59% achieving A* to C grades, up on 51% from last year.

Art and art photography saw 100% return A* to C grades, in history it was 91% and in English Language 75%.
In addition to the A levels, 15 students successfully gained the UCAS-recognised Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which sees students explore one academic-related topic in depth.
Avonbourne’s Director of Sixth Form, Kathryn Loughnan, said: “We are delighted with these sets of results, particularly our increase in the number of students achieving A* to C grades.
“As a college we are very much about preparing our students for the world of work and higher education.
“In September we will become the only college in the south to be a Peter Jones Foundation Academy, offering enterprise courses devised and supported by the Dragon’s Den star.
“These results show we have all the right foundations in place for this exciting next step for Avonbourne.”
