Dame Rachel De Souza, Children's Commissioner for England, speaking to college students
Despite having to work under incredibly challenging circumstances due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, our students have still recorded some fantastic results this year. A Level students have achieved a 99% pass rate for the fourth year in a row with an 11% increase in students gaining A*-B grades compared to both 2020 and 2019 exam years. The A*-B pass rate was 52% while the A*-C pass rate was 76%.
At this time of year the focus is traditionally on A Level and GCSE results, but thousands of vocational learners at Harlow College and Stansted Airport College have been achieving excellent results, despite having to study under incredibly challenging circumstances due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdowns.
