Mount Kelly is celebrating the A Level and BTEC success of its class of 2023 pupils with 82% achieving a place at a university of their choice in the UK and overseas, and more applicants achieving places at world class Russell Group and Bath and Loughborough universities compared to last year.
Head Master, Guy Ayling said, “The success of our Sixth Form is all the more impressive this year as they were unable to sit their GCSEs due to pandemic disruption. They have had to learn fast about examination technique and the mental and emotional approaches to an exam season.
“We’ve clearly surpassed the national rate of 62.1% of school leavers going to their first-choice university and we’re delighted to see our pupils preparing for the next step of their life journeys. The broad and exciting range of career choices our pupils are going into make me particularly proud.”
