St James' wows with fantastic results - post 16
St James Catholic School in Barnet is proud to share another fantastic set of A-level and BTEC results. Headteacher, Anthony Ellul, said “I'm thrilled to share the remarkable A-level and BTEC results achieved by our students. They are an incredible group of young people who have embraced our VERITAS values and hope that, as our motto suggests, they will continue to “live life to the full”. We are grateful to our staff, governors, parents, and community, for the care and support they have given to our students.
All of the departments at the school posted excellent results this year, but especially strong results came from the RE Department, with 100% achieving A grades, and the Art Department, boasting a remarkable 100% A*-C and 72% A*-B grades. Our vocational departments also performed exceptionally well, with an impressive 57% of students attaining D*-D grades and 98% of students achieving D*-M grades.
Head of Sixth Form, Alex Aldridge, commented, “Our Year 13s have continued to do the school so proud with these amazing results and the contributions that they have made to our community, I have no doubt that they will go far in their next exciting steps. We hope that they stay in touch - as we’re not done celebrating their successes just yet!”
