Richard Huish College students are celebrating yet another strong set of results after putting tremendous hard work and dedication into their studies, cementing Huish’s reputation as the best Post-16 provider in the South West.
Principal, Emma Fielding, said: “The results achieved are remarkable. Our students should be incredibly proud of themselves, and I am delighted by both their academic success and the positive impact they have had on our college through their curiosity, determination and compassion.”
The overall A Level pass rate at Huish is 99%, with an impressive 31% of students achieving an A/A* and almost 60% of students achieving high grades A*-B, significantly above the national average.
At Huish, 82% of A Level students gained A*- C grades. Top performers did well across a wide range of courses, with 98 students (over 10%) achieving three or more A*/A grades.
Two Huish fine art students and five Huish photography students were individually commended by the exam board as being amongst the very top performing students in the country out of 40,000 entries nationally.
Student results on Extended Diploma Vocational qualifications were equally exceptional, with over 85% of students achieving high grades, with at least one Distinction grade in their profile and 25 students (16%) gaining the very top results of triple Distinction*.
Emma Fielding added: “These achievements are the result of many years of learning, growth and perseverance. I want to thank our partner schools for helping to build the strong foundations on which these successes stand and our parents and carers for the encouragement and support they have given throughout the journey.
“I would also like to pay tribute to our incredible Huish staff, whose passion, care and dedication make such a profound difference to our students every day.
“To our students, huge congratulations on your fantastic achievements. We are truly inspired by what you have accomplished.”
