Nearly 90% of students have secured places at the university of their choice, which include Bath, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Imperial College London, LSE, Newcastle, Oxford, St Andrew’s and Warwick, with an impressive range of aspirational study choices spanning Arts, Dentistry, Economics, Engineering, Law, Medicine, Music, STEM subjects and Veterinary Medicine.
“I'm a bit in shock from today, but I'm so grateful to my teachers for the last 2 years. It was really nice to see a lot of happy tears this morning and to see my friends, and I can't wait to see what the next few years bring, even if I'm sad to be leaving Pate's. I hope everyone else is just as proud of themselves for all the hard work they have put in.”
Oshotare Kadiri from Gloucester, achieved A*A*A*A* and his confirmed place to read Medicine at his first-choice, University College London. He said,
“Finding out that I got what I needed for UCL was amazing, it’s a relief knowing that all the effort over the past 2 years has paid off, and it’s really exciting knowing that I’m now set up for the next step. It was also great to celebrate my friends and to see so many happy faces. I hope everyone gets up to some fantastic things.”
Raphael Brookes-Fischer, who achieved A*A*AB and a confirmed place to read English and French at the University of Warwick, said,
“After a few months of stress I was so relieved today when I found out my place at Warwick had been confirmed. I'm so excited to start studying there in September. I'm beyond pleased with my results especially with my A* in French and it was so good to see everyone today at school. I wish everyone the best for the future!”
Headteacher of Pate’s Grammar School, Dr James Richardson said,
“We are immensely proud of all that our students have achieved. This year’s A Level results are testament to these students’ hard work, talents and abilities, as well as the inspirational teaching and support of our staff; subject teachers, Sixth Form Tutors and Mentors. At Pate’s, we inform, educate and equip our students for life beyond Sixth Form and this is reflected in the breadth of disciplines our leavers have chosen to pursue. The future is bold, bright and exciting for the Class of 2026, and we wish them continued success, fulfilment and happiness in all they go on to achieve.”
