Chesterfield College students were once again celebrating excellent A Level results, with 100% pass rates in thirteen subject areas and pass rates above 90% in a further five subjects.



Over 300 students took AS and A Level exams at the College this year, with the majority gaining grades between A and C.

Talented AS student Emma Brookes gained A grades in four subjects, and plans to complete her A Levels at the College next year before studying Law at Cambridge or Durham University. Emma, who was home taught until the age of sixteen before studying GCSE’s at College, has also been awarded joint first place in the Cambridge University Sociology essay writing competition.

Twenty-three year old Pete Jones returned to College two years ago to study for A Levels after leaving school at 16 and spending five years in low-paid employment. He gained an A and two B grades and has won a place at the University of Hull to study History, after which he plans to take a teaching qualification. Pete’s high grades have also won him a university scholarship worth £1500.

A Level student Amy Fletcher from Grassmoor, achieved two A’s and a B to gain a place at Sheffield Hallam University on the highly competitive Primary School Teaching course.

Also making the grade was 18 year-old Mary Kinsley who achieved 3 A’s in Business Studies, English Literature and Sociology, and plans to study English at Liverpool University. At AS Level, Kadie Cooper gained 4 A grades and will be applying to study Law at Oxford University after completing her A Levels next year.

A Level Manager Stuart Booker said, “We’re extremely proud of all of our AS and A Level students. The College’s A Level courses achieve high standards year on year, a fact which seems all the more exceptional when you consider the diverse range of backgrounds and wide ranging experience and skills our students have, with many coming onto A levels through non-conventional routes.”
