Top grades for students at Greenhead College!

Greenhead College has once again achieved outstanding A Level results.  Having topped the published A Level performance tables for Sixth Form Colleges in Yorkshire, Greenhead has sustained its success in 2019.    

The overall pass rate is 99.0% with 84.2% of all grades at A*-C and 62.2% at A*-B at A Level. 197 students gained A*/A in 3 or 4 subjects, with 33 students gaining A* across the board.   

These top grades have enabled many students to secure their first choice destination in higher education, training or employment.  In particular, 34 students* have met their offer to study at an Oxbridge university. 

College Principal, Simon Lett said:

“Our students have achieved amazing results this year and we send our best wishes to them for their future success and wellbeing.  I would also like to thank parents and carers, and our superb staff for the dedicated support they have given our students.”

Congratulations, Class of 2019!
