Headteacher, Gary Lobbett commented:
‘These are absolutely outstanding results. Many of our young people have met and surpassed their challenging personal targets and goals. The progress we have made is the result of the dedication and commitment of our staff, the positive attitude and hard work of our students and the high level of support from parents. I am very proud of the achievements of all our students and of the teaching and support teams at the College who guide and encourage students throughout the year. Congratulations to everyone involved'.
Congratulations to the many Callington students who have once more won prestigious places at the very best academic institutions.
These exceptional results are a direct reflection on the outstanding teaching and pastoral care and the hard work and dedication of the students themselves.
One in four of all grades were A* or A. The percentage of A*-B grades improved by a further 20% on the previous year.
The QCA average point per student of 209 represents an excellent achievement by everyone. QCA total average points per entry also increased dramatically to 829. 99% of students achieved a pass grade. It is especially pleasing that boys average points improved by a further 12%. The average total UCAS points per student has risen again this year to 329.
