This year, has been a difficult year for schools for many reasons and on Thursday 13th August A Level pupils had to navigate results that were in some
cases, not what they had been hoping for. Despite this, Coleraine Grammar pupils still achieved some outstanding sets of CCEA results.
Our top achieving student, got an excellent 5 A*s, ensuring his place at Queen’s to study Maths. Two pupils will be attending Oxford and Cambridge: one
of whom achieved 4 A* grades and is going to read Mathematics at Balliol College, Oxford and the other achieved 3 A* grades and will be reading Human,
Social and Political Sciences at St. John’s College, Cambridge.
Our head girl and head boy both achieved 3 A* with one going to Stanford and the other going to Queen’s to study Dentistry. Four other pupils, who will
be studying the following courses: Accountancy at Queen’s, Medicine at Queen’s, Dentistry at Queen’s, Biomedical sciences at Liverpool all achieved
3 A*s as well. Other high achievers included: pupils who will study English Literature at St Andrews, Art at University of Ulster and Biomedical Sciences
at University of Ulster who received 3A/A* grades. Two other pupils also did superbly, each gaining 1 A* and 2 A grades. This is a mere sample of some
of the very pleasing results our pupils received. Out of 116 pupils who hoped for a university place, so far 96 of them have already secured places.
We are immensely proud of our pupils, however this year there are numbers of students who are understandably disappointed and somewhat confused about
their grades. In some cases, the Centre Assessed Grades have been downgraded, as has happened across all schools in the province. Headmaster Dr Carruthers
has assured the school community that, “Staff in Coleraine Grammar will of course work closely with parents and pupils to support them in appealing
some of the decisions CCEA have taken.” Congratulations to our class on 2020, it has been an unprecedented year and we wish them all well in their
future endeavours.
AS Results
As with the A2 results, there were pupils who did very well and there were also those whose grades had been lowered by CCEA. There were some excellent
results from our pupils despite the uncertainty with grades. Top achievers were as follows: One pupil achieved 4 A grades; three pupils achieved 3
As at AS and an A* in their A Level Maths in one year. Two pupils who achieved 3 As and a B each. Plus eight pupils who achieved 3 A grades. This is
a small selection of the pupils who achieved outstanding results.
Congratulations to our class on 2020, it has been an unprecedented year and we wish them all well in their future endeavours.
