The average capped point score per student has risen year on year and now stands at 346. A record number of students will continue their studies in the College's Sixth Form from September.

Students achieved highly across subjects. Many subjects achieved 100% pass rates. Mathematics, English, Science and Art were among the many curriculum areas in which excellent results have been achieved.

Callington students have achieved significantly above the national average. Headteacher Gary Lobbett, commented 'I am absolutely delighted by the achievements of our young people. The increasing number of students achieving A* and A grades across all subjects reflects the quality of teaching and consistency within the College. The progress we have made is the result of the dedication, commitment and hard work of our staff, the positive attitudes of our students and the high level of support from parents. Our young people have met and surpassed their challenging personal targets and aspirations. I am very proud of their achievements and of the teaching and support teams at the College who guide and encourage students throughout the year. These are again absolutely outstanding results. Congratulations to everyone involved'.

We would particularly like to congratulate and recognise the achievements of Joe Gallacher and Ben Tamblyn, both students achieved thirteen A* and A grades and Amelia Jones who achieved twelve A* and A grades.
