Luton Sixth Form College Celebrates Outstanding A Level and BTEC Results
Luton Sixth Form College is thrilled to announce yet another year of remarkable academic achievements, as students excel in their A Level and BTEC examinations. The dedication and hard work of both students and staff have resulted in exceptional outcomes that showcase the college’s commitment to excellence in education.
This year’s results once again reflect the college’s high standards and commitment to academic excellence. As one of the largest providers in England, the A Level cohort achieved an impressive 97% pass rate, with 43.7% of students achieving high grades, a 5.5% increase on 2019 – the last year that summer exams were taken before the pandemic. To put this in context, out of 1892 exam entry passes, 853 were high grades (A*- B). Equally commendable are the achievements of BTEC students, with 68% achieving high grades on the Level 3 Diploma, underscoring the college’s dedication to vocational education.
Principal & CEO Altaf Hussain expressed his elation, stating, “While nationally A level high grades have fallen by 9.2% our students have bucked the trend and we have seen an increase of 5.5%. They have had a tough few years and that’s why I am immensely proud of them for their exceptional accomplishments especially in many of our high performing subjects such as Biology (99.4% pass rate/53.3% high grades); English Language (100/49.4);Law (97.4/45.2) and Economics (97.7/53.6). These results are a testament to their hard work, resilience, and the collaborative spirit that permeates our institution.
Our success is also attributed to the tireless efforts of teaching and support staff and the hard working families of our students who have consistently demonstrated a commitment to nurturing and guiding our ambitious students towards academic excellence. Our personalised support, innovative teaching methods, and rigorous curriculum have played a pivotal role in shaping these remarkable achievements and the vast majority of our students will be able to secure their first choice place at university.
As the top performing specialist sixth form college in Bedfordshire, our students are leaving Luton Sixth Form College not only with outstanding qualifications but also with the skills and confidence to succeed in their future endeavours. It’s also great news for Luton and its economic regeneration as many will come back and work in Luton as engineers, doctors, pharmacists, accountants and many other professions over the next few years. That why we remain dedicated to fostering an environment where our students can thrive academically and personally. The college’s investment in resources, facilities, and teaching methodologies ensures that each student receives a well-rounded education that equips them for the challenges of the modern world.
As the college celebrates this year’s achievements, we looks forward to welcoming a new cohort of students who will undoubtedly continue to uphold the tradition of excellence that Luton Sixth Form College has come to symbolise.”
