THE HOLT School is celebrating after achieving a 100% pass rate in this year’s A-level exams.
After two years of learning disrupted by the pandemic, more than three quarters (79.3%) of students were awarded grades A*-B in this year’s results, and one in five (21%) passed with top marks.
Anne Kennedy and Katie Pearce, co-headteachers at The Holt School, said the Year 13’s were a fantastic group who worked hard from the start of their A-levels.
“Throughout the two lockdowns, where remote learning took place, [they] are fully deserving of their A-level grades received today,” they said.
“Once again, it was sad that Covid-19 denied our students the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a final exam, however, they certainly worked hard for their grades.”
Ms Kennedy and Ms Pearce have also thanked staff at The Holt School for “inspiring and challenging” the students throughout their studies.
“[You ensured] they had every opportunity to achieve their very best and in supporting and preparing them for life beyond school,” the co-headteachers added.
“Thank you also to the parents of this cohort for their continued support over the last two most unusual of years, which we have very much appreciated.
“We wish all our Year 13 students the very best as they move on to university, apprenticeships or employment and we would like to thank them for their hard work, commitment and contributions they have made to the life of the school over their time here.”
