Our Post 16 students have secured some excellent outcomes in the summer of 2023. Due to the impact of Covid-19 and the lack of exams in 2020, the Department for Education (DfE) announced that there would be no progress score (Value Added Score) published for Post 16 students nationally in the summer of 2023.

Despite this, attainment of students based on sitting full exams in the summer of 2023 can be measured and once again our students performed exceptionally well.

The average grade achieved by our students at A-Level was a C+ grade with an average point score (APS) of 34.26, which represents an increase on 2019 outcomes. This average grade is derived from all A Level entries.

46% of all A Level entries were graded at A*-B and 77% of all entries were graded at A*-C. In relation to students best 3 A Levels APS was significantly above the national average.

Alongside this, all our A Level entries were graded at an overall pass rate of 99.15%, above the national A*-E rate. This level of success has enabled many of our students to go onto their first-choice university or apprenticeship.

Alongside A Levels, many of our students completed Applied Courses at Post 16. Applied courses include BTEC Nationals, CTEC courses and WJEC Criminology. Again, our students performed exceptionally well in these subjects. The Applied General and Applied Technical APS were both significantly above the national average and represent an ongoing trend of excellent performance in Applied Courses at Accord Sixth Form.
