Learner Success

We are very proud of our 2009 sixth form leavers from year 13 who have done very well in their exams.

In 2009, 68 of the students applied for university and secured a place. Of the students going to university this year, two are going to Oxford, one to study Maths and one to study Law and French Law. A further two students are going to take Medical degrees in Leeds and in Glasgow respectively.

Our students are studying a wide range of subjects including Law, pharmacy, theology, psychology , languages, geography and sports science. Many of the students have decided to study near home and so there are lots of Allerton Grange students now at Leeds University and Leeds Metropolitan University as well as students at Huddersfield and Bradford. Some have travelled further afield and one has ventured to Falmouth to study Film.

In total, a further 20 students decided to take a Gap Year and the majority of them are intending to apply through school this year for their courses. Many of these students are travelling or working before going to university. Some of them are taking the opportunity to think for a little bit longer before making course choices.  One of the students did so well that she is now thinking of applying for Oxford or Cambridge and one of the others are going to apply for Medicine.

17th March 2010 Note from Head Teacher

Congratulations to all our sixth form teachers and last year’s year 13 students. The recent publication of post 16 league tables yet again highlights the fantastic progress made by our A level students. We compare more than favourably with the vast majority of Leeds schools and colleges. We will work hard this year to achieve even more impressive exam results.  Rich Whittaker.
