Akeley Wood School pupils celebrate outstanding A-Level results

Students, staff and families at Akeley Wood School in Buckingham, are celebrating today as they received fantastic A Level results, with many of their students securing their university places.

School leaders say the achievements reflect the ambition and hard work displayed by students throughout their time in sixth form. Many Akeley Wood students are now preparing for their next steps at renowned universities, reputable apprenticeships and the world of work.

Highlights include 100 per cent of students attaining A*-B in Computer Science, Fine Art, DT and Music Tech; and 100 per cent achieving A*- C in Geography and History.

 In an age where we are told that the learning of modern foreign languages is on the decline, the school has also reported 100% of its pupils achieving A*- B grades in French, Spanish and Russian. 

 71 per cent of the school’s maths students also achieved A*/A, with many going on to read mathematically related degrees at university.

 This year's results included a number of standout successes, reflecting the talent and dedication of student.

Two of the top achievers of the day and friends, Naomi and Jake, have both secured their first choice Universities for their future studies.

Naomi achieved A*AA, and is off to Microbiology at the University of Leeds, and Jake, who achieved A*A*A, is looking forward to taking a Gap Year, before studying Geography at Lancaster.

Jonathan Stevens, Head of Seniors at Akeley Wood School, said: “These results are a culmination of exceptional effort and dedicated hard work from our students, fully supported by their teachers over the last couple of years. It is a privilege to witness the excitement of our students as their Akeley journey comes to end and the next chapters of their lives begin. These results are an important part of a much bigger picture, and this morning we celebrate confident, accomplished and ambitious young adults as they head off to exciting futures.”
