CALLINGTON Community College students reaped the rewards of their hard work when they collected their exam results today.

College principal Wendy Ainsworth said: “It is just wonderful. Results are always the final testament and recognition of how students have dedicated themselves and the work they have done, and in turn, the support and guidance they have received from their teaching staff.

“A-levels are tough and require significant energy, enthusiasm and determination to be successful. Knowing that our young people have not only achieved but that they can also all access their chosen pathways, whether that be university courses or first class apprenticeships is incredibly important. I wish them all the very best of luck in their next adventures!”

She said maths and sciences, inclusive of social sciences had performed very well again, with core maths yielding an average grade of ‘A’ and health and social care yielded an average distinction grade. In psychology, students had achieved almost a grade higher than target across the cohort and physics have added half a grade across their cohort.

College officials said there was so much to celebrate, with particular mention went to the following students:

Caitlin May, who achieved As in biology, geography and sociology, who is going on to Warwick University to study biological sciences.

Linny Heydu, who achieved A* in art and design, photography and a B in media, will now be studying illustration at Plymouth University.
