St. Aidan's and St John Fisher pupils achieve 'phenomenal' A Level results

Thursday, 14 August 2025 10:45

Pupils at Associated Sixth Form of St Aidan's and St John Fisher receive their A Level results.

The Associated Sixth Form of St Aidan's and St John Fisher has praised its pupils for their 'phenomenal' A Level results.

This year’s cohort has achieved success across a wide range of subjects, with many students securing places at top universities, prestigious apprenticeships, and exciting career pathways.

Early indication shows that these 2025 results have the highest value-added score (progress) the Associated Sixth Form has ever achieved.

Nearly a third of all grades gained are A*or A and over 76% of grades are grade C or better.

Students taking the applied general courses have once again performed very well with 75% of the cohort achieving distinction* to merit grades.

Other highlights include strong performances in STEM, Humanities, and the Arts and there are some very strong individual performances with several students achieving all A*, A or Distinction* grades.

Many more students have made exceptional progress from their starting point when they joined the Associated Sixth Form.

Head teacher of St Aidan’s, Siân Dover, said:

“We are absolutely thrilled at the results our students have achieved, and we could not be more pleased for them all. These results are a testament to the dedication and determination of our students, who have worked incredibly hard.

"Their success is richly deserved. Whether our students are heading to university, apprenticeships, or employment, they leave our Associated Sixth Form equipped with the skills, values, and confidence to thrive. We couldn’t be prouder.”

Head teacher of St John Fisher, Steve Mort, said:

“We are so proud of all of our students and staff, and they thoroughly deserve this wonderful set of results. These young people have worked so hard, and we want to congratulate each and every one of them.

"I want to thank our exceptional teaching and support staff, whose commitment and care have guided our students every step of the way. This is a day of celebration not just for individual achievements, but for the strength of our Associated Sixth Form community.”
