Today, students and staff at Holcombe Grammar School located on Letchworth Avenue in Chatham, and part of Thinking Schools Academy Trust, are celebrating after receiving their A-Level grades.
This year, students at the Academy have excelled, achieving a year of good results following two years of dedication to their studies. Many students are now preparing to head on to the university, apprenticeship or job of their choice.
After two years of examinations where national grade boundaries were slightly lower (in recognition of the impact of the pandemic on children), this year has seen a return to the more demanding 2019 grade boundaries. Given this, we are pleased that our outcomes are very similar to 2019 with over 40% of grades at A*, A or B. We have seen especially strong outcomes in Business Studies, Finance and Social Science subjects with many striking individual results including:
Collecting her A-Level results today, Maddy Watts said:
I will miss this place so much. I’ve had such a great time and can’t thank you enough. I will be back and will stay in touch – thank you so much for all your support
Sam Bent said: I’m off to train to be a Royal Marines Commando. I can’t thank you enough for all of your support. I will be back when I qualify, in my uniform, to let you all know I’ve done it and you’re in safe hands!
Lee Preston, Headteacher at Holcombe Grammar School said:
These are a strong set of results and we are extremely proud of all that our Year 13 have achieved. So many of our students have performed outstandingly well and should be very proud of all that they have done. We wish all of them every success for their futures
Stuart Gardner, CEO of Thinking Schools Academy Trust, added:
“I am delighted for our students at Holcombe Grammar School. They have worked exceptionally hard, and we wish them well in their exciting next steps!”
