Strode College is celebrating another year of exceptional results across A Levels. Strode College celebrate brilliant outcomes – surpassing national benchmarks in A Levels, T Levels and all other Level 3 qualifications.


A Level students achieved a 96% pass rate across 29 A Level subjects, with 41% high grades (A*–B). Maths, one of the largest subjects at the College, topped the performance charts with an impressive 56% of students achieving an A*-A and 90% of the cohort achieving an A*-B grade. 

Several other subjects achieved over 60% A*-B grades including French, Spanish, Religious Studies, Further Maths, Film Studies and Extended Project.   

I’m incredibly proud of the hard work that has gone into achieving these results. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Strode College and I’m grateful for the experiences and support I’ve had along the way. I’m now looking forward to the next chapter as I head to Cardiff University to study Law. It’s a great feeling to see the hard work pay off, and my advice to other students would simply be to stay focused, keep working hard, and never give up.

A Level student

T Level students achieved outstanding results with a 71% High Grade profile (Distinction and Merit) across the College in subjects such as Education, Health and Digital. There were exceptional results in within Engineering, Sport and Music, with over 70% of students achieving Distinction*, showcasing consistent high performance across technical, professional and academic disciplines at the college. 

I’m feeling amazing. I put so much work and effort into my T Level, so I’m incredibly proud that it has paid off. I’m especially proud of the resilience I’ve developed throughout the process. College was a big step up from secondary school, with much more independence, but I’ve learned so much from that experience and kept pushing myself to try new things and become more confident in my studies. 

I’m now so excited to take my next step and study at Bath Spa University, with the ambition of becoming a primary school teacher

I’m delighted with the fantastic results achieved by our Strode College students this year. To see such an amazing set of results, with some subjects performing at the very highest levels in the country, is a testament to the determination, resilience, and enthusiasm for learning our students possess. These outcomes showcase the exceptional hard work and the dedication of our staff, and I look forward to watching our students go on and achieve great things in the future.
