Another record breaking year!

Students at OSFC celebrated achieving record breaking results for the sixth year in a row with a 99% A Level Pass Rate at A-E. With over 2000 entries, the A-C pass rate also rose to 73% and A-B to 45%

30 Advanced level subjects achieved a 100% pass rate and the pass rate on National (BTEC/OCR) courses couldn't have been better either - a fantastic 100%. Two students achieved five Grade As and 7 achieved 4 grade As. Taking overall points achieved by individual students, 95 achieved 360 points or more (360 is equivalent to 3 A grades) a 14% increase on last year.

Next Stop Cambridge

All four students who were offered a conditional place at Oxbridge this year were successful in their applications.

Three of them – Jack Monaghan, Chloe Stott and Bethanie Wattleworth – are off to Cambridge. Jack, a former pupil of Mossley Hollins High School, achieved 5 As and is off to Jesus College to study Natural Science (Physics). Chloe, who came to College from Royton & Crompton school, also achieved 5 As and is going on to study Natural Science although she has opted for Peterhouse College. Engineering at Homerton College is former Counthill pupil Bethanie’s choice. She achieved 3As and 2Bs in her A Levels.

National Success For Top Students

Eight of our students achieved marks in the top 5 nationally for their subjects. Two were Biologists (Katy Wilson and Chloe Stott) and 3 Leisure Studies students (Jessica Ashton, Jessica Coutts and Gemma Adderley).

Other students in the top 5 nationally were:

Gemma Adderley, Jessica Ashton and Jessica Coutts – Leisure Studies
Katy Wilson and Chloe Stott - Biology
Danielle Stone (Art & Design: 3D Design)
Mohammed Ilyas (Applied Science Double Award)
Abdul Muhammad Haque (Applied ICT Double Award).

College Principal Nick Brown OBE said, ‘After what we thought was last year’s high watermark for the College, we are delighted that the results this year have improved significantly, particularly with the high grades. On the back of the College reputation we are able to get our students into the best universities and whilst this is very good for the College, it is exceptionally good news for Greater Manchester. Our higher grade pass rates have increased by 10% since Ofsted classed us as outstanding in our last Inspection and we are demonstrably a better College than when the DfES awarded us Beacon status for excellence”.
