Students at South Notts Academy, Radcliffe, celebrate some of the school’s most outstanding A-level results

South Nottinghamshire Academy said it was celebrating the amazing achievements of its sixth form students.

Overall, it said it was pleased to report outstanding results in A-levels and other examination qualifications this summer with a 99% pass rate.

Anna Cox, head of sixth at the Radcliffe school, said: “Students and staff have worked extremely hard to secure some of the academy’s most outstanding results - it is so pleasing to see students gain their places at prestigious universities or progress to their destination of choice in employment or training.”

Joe White gained A*AA and will be studying English literature at the University of Manchester.

Emma Gould gained A*AA and will be studying chemical engineering at Loughborough University

Ben White gained AAC and will be studying mechanical engineering at Newcastle University.

Maddy Seyfert gained A*AB and will be studying English language and linguistics at University of Leeds.

Thomas Quill gained AAB and will be studying urban studies and planning at the University of Sheffield.

Katie Bulloch gained A*AB and will be studying biomedical science at Newcastle University.

Dan Philpotts, headteacher, said: “We are immensely proud of our sixth form students, not least because they had no prior experience from their GCSEs as they received teacher-assessed grades in 2021.

“Their resilience and commitment have shone through as they’ve encountered pandemic closures and working from home, extra bank holidays and teacher strikes.

“Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure that students progress onto further education and employment with universities as far reaching as Newcastle to Plymouth.

“Well done to everyone – your success is well deserved.”
