The Bournemouth & Poole College is toasting its best ever return for A Level results with a 100% pass rate. It’s an improvement on last year’s numbers, and a breakdown of the figures shows that 66% achieved A to C grades and 37% were in the A* to B range.
A delighted Head of Sixth Form, Tracey Griffin, said: "This is a fantastic achievement and is a well-deserved result for all our hard working students. They have all stepped up to meet the challenge of the first stage of A Level reforms and met it head-on with outstanding success. It’s an excellent outcome for the college."
BBC South today shared in the student's success, and sent a film crew along to capture some of the students unveiling their results. They also interviewed several students who had overcome adversity and triumphed in their A Levels.
