Comberton Sixth Form Celebrates Outstanding Post-16 Results
Comberton Sixth Form is celebrating exceptional success in the 2025 A-Level and vocational examinations, with students securing results that reflect outstanding commitment, resilience, and ambition.
This year, we saw a very high number of students applying for university, apprenticeships, and degree apprenticeship courses. The vast majority of those who applied through UCAS have successfully secured places at either their first-choice or insurance universities.
Among those celebrating are Melina, Alexander, Owen and Annabel who all achieved three A*’s in a variety of A levels; whilst Sophia, Molly, and Sophie achieved D*D*D* in their L3 BTEC Health and Social Care course, and Amelia achieving the same grades in L3 BTEC Business.
As ever, our students now have the opportunity to access a wide range of exciting opportunities to support their future pathways and careers. For example, having achieved D*D*D* in L3 BTEC Health & Social Care, Sophie has accepted to study midwifery at Oxford Brooks whilst Sila having successfully completed L3 BTEC Business is off to the University of Exter to study Law.
Following the A-Level route, Abigail has accepted a place at the University of Nottingham to study Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, Alex with grades of A*A*A*A will be attending the University of Warwick to pursue Mathematics, and Aleena is heading to Newcastle University to study Dentistry.
Jeremy Frost, Head of Sixth Form, praised students for their dedication and the breadth of their achievements:
“Our students have shown remarkable resilience and ambition, excelling across both A-Level and vocational courses. I am especially proud of the way our vocational learners have achieved at the very highest level, opening doors to exceptional opportunities. Whether heading to top universities, high-quality apprenticeships, or professional careers, they are a credit to Comberton Sixth Form and themselves.”
The Sixth Form extends its warmest congratulations to all students and wishes them every success for the future.
