Students and staff at SGS College are celebrating another year of outstanding academic success, with strong A Level, T Level and Level 3 BTEC results once again proving the college’s commitment to excellence in teaching, learning and student support.

This year’s A Level results show an overall A Level pass rate of 96.8% (A*-E), an improvement on last year’s 95.7%, with significant achievements in key subjects including:

  • Maths: 50% A*-B
  • Further Maths: 83% A*-B
  • Criminology: 53.4% A*-B
  • Economics: 46.7% A*-B

35% of SGS learners achieved high grades A*-B, with A* grades being awarded in a wide range of subjects such as Biology, Criminology, Economics, Further Mathematics, History, Maths, Psychology, Physical Education, and Sociology.

There was strong performance across Level 3 BTEC courses too, with 96% of students achieving a pass grade profile and 33% achieving Distinction or Distinction * grades.

Biomedical Science learner Mia Chilman excelled achieving triple Distinction* in her BTEC qualification. Mia is progressing to Cardiff Metropolitan University to study Bio Medical Science.

The support at SGS has been amazing throughout the two years, the teachers are always there if you need help anytime of the day. I would recommend the BTEC route to anyone as it has allowed me to excel as a practical person and secure a place at my first-choice university.

T Level Triumphs

In addition to A-Level and BTEC results, SGS College is delighted to share the continued success of its T Level provision. Last year saw the first-ever T Level cohort achieve a 100% pass rate – and this year, that success continues with a second year of 100% of learners passing their T Level qualification and 65% of learners achieving a Merit or Distinction.

Two standout successes were friends Lara and Ruby who both achieved Distinctions in Early Years and Childcare. Lara is progressing to Durham University to study Primary Care and Ruby is heading to University of the West of England to study Childhood Studies.

Our tutor Rosie was continually supportive and went above and beyond when helping secure our placements and prepare our UCAS applications.
