Fantastic A Level And Vocational Results Celebrated At New City College.

Students at New City College Havering Sixth Form are celebrating fantastic A Level results, with a 96% pass rate and almost 36% achieving high grades A*-B – compared to the national mark of 28.3%. 

 Popular courses with 100% pass rates at the campus in Wingletye Lane, Hornchurch, include A Levels in Art & Design subjects. More than half of the 219 students who sat these exams achieved A* to B grades.

 Colleen Marshall, Principal for A Levels at New City College, said that with 1,666 A Level entries this year at Havering Sixth Form, to reach a 96% pass rate was outstanding.

 One student who performed exceptionally well was Oliver McLarens, who will be going to Oxford University to study PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics). He achieved A* grades in Maths and History and As in Further Maths and Politics. Oliver said his results are due to hard work and great teaching.

 “I’m really excited about going to Oxford. It will be a challenge but it has been something I’ve dreamed of for a long time and I worked really hard for it. The teachers at the sixth form have been brilliant and helped me throughout the two years. I chose to study here because when I met them at an Open Day I could see how committed and supportive they were.”

Well Done Oliver!

Another successful student was Macey Smith. She achieved As in Product Design and the EPQ, a Distinction* in Business BTEC and a B in Interior & Architectural Design.

 Macey said: “I enjoyed my time at college and met some great friends. We really supported each other and helped each other through when we were finding it tough.”

Well done Macey!

 Student Kioni Pierre from Ardleigh Green Campus, achieved Triple Distinction in BTEC Art & Design. She said: “My teachers helped me set goals and targets when I struggled to organise myself. There were times I felt like giving up, but I pushed through – now I’m going to my dream university to study Creative Design Industries.”

Well done Kioni!
