Comberton Sixth Form Results, Class of 2024

Press Release:

We are really pleased with Comberton Sixth Form’s fantastic overall 2024 A-level and BTEC results. Our students should be very proud of their achievements and looking forward to their next steps. We had very high numbers of students applying for university, apprenticeship and degree apprenticeship courses this year and there are so many individual stories of success.

As always, there are a small number of Comberton Sixth Form students who need support with their next steps and these students are working with staff to secure appropriate pathways. The vast majority of those who applied to university through UCAS have been successful in gaining places at either their first or insurance choice universities.

Among the individuals to be celebrating is Emily, who achieved an amazing three A* grades in Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry. She has been accepted by Cambridge University to read Veterinary Medicine.

Congratulations to Nicole and Rothia who both gained the highest of grades, at D*D*D* in BTEC Health and Social Care (Level 3 Extended Diploma). Many of our young people who study Health and Social Care, are moving into Higher Education or training, hoping to join NHS or Education based roles in the future. Nicole has been accepted to study Podiatry and Rothia leaves CSF to train as a Nurse.

Harry will be taking up a place to read Natural Sciences at King’s College London after gaining an A* and two A grades in his Maths, Chemistry and Biology A-levels.

Caitlin will be leaving CSF to read Experimental Psychology at University College, Oxford after securing A*, A and A grades.

Tom gained A, B and C grade in his A-levels (with an additional B grade in Core Maths) to secure his Degree Apprenticeship in Accountancy

We are so pleased that our students have shared such success, with the vast majority gaining their places at their chosen universities and apprenticeships.

Jeremy Frost, Head of Sixth Form
