Hundreds of Ark graduates are celebrating today after securing places at top universities and prestigious degree apprenticeships.
Across our network of schools, 80 percent of all A level grades were A* to C (up three percentage points on 2023). This is four percentage points higher than the national average.
Ark students also performed well in their A level-equivalent BTEC qualifications, with 41 percent achieving distinctions graded D*DD or higher (two percentage points up on last year). Overall, 76 percent achieved A* to C or equivalent in all three of their subjects.
Jerry Collins, Director of Secondary said, “Our schools’ consistently high performance reflects our commitment to providing a supportive and enriching learning environment. Our teachers and staff ensure that young people have the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their academic pursuits and future careers. Congratulations to all our Year 13 students – we wish them well as they pursue the next chapter of their lives.”
There are many inspiring stories of individual success across the network.
Here are just a few who are celebrating today.
