The wait was finally over today (Thursday 15th August) as hundreds of Nottingham College High Pavement Sixth Form students received their A Level exam results.
Among those celebrating were classmates Iyayi and Melody, who both received the grades they need to take their next steps.
Iyayi, 18, is progressing to the University of Birmingham to study Nursing. She said: “I’ve always wanted to go down the medical route. I want to help people, especially when they need it most. These grades mean I can go on to university and it takes me one step closer to a career in nursing.”
Melody has her sights set on a career in engineering. She achieved A, B, C in Psychology, Biology and Chemistry. She will return to High Pavement Sixth Form in September to complete a fourth A Level in Mathematics before going on to university.
The college saw many students progressing to their chosen universities, including Sheffield Hallam, Hull York Medical School, University of Northampton, Leeds University, the University of Nottingham and many more.
Gaige Bailey is off to the University of Warwick to study Philosophy and Psychology after achieving A*, B, C in English Literature, Philosophy and Psychology. Eventually he’d like to complete a Masters in Neuroscience. He said: “I’ve really enjoyed studying at High Pavement, and my time here has set me up well for university. The tutors are so encouraging and really believe in you. Now I’m excited to continue on and see what the future holds.”
High Pavement Assistant Principal, Adam Beazeley, joined tutors and staff in celebrating and supporting students throughout the day.
He said: “Today is about recognising the efforts of our students and staff who have worked so hard over the past couple of years. I am so pleased to have seen many of our students securing places at their chosen universities, which is testament to their perseverance and dedication.
“This year, we’ve also seen an increase in students progressing to higher apprenticeships, securing placements with the likes of Global Law Firm DLA Piper and Deloitte UK.
“We wish all of our students the very best for their futures, whether that’s a higher-level course at college or university, an apprenticeship, or employment.”
