Sixth Form students from King James I Academy are celebrating another fantastic set of A2 and AS results. Across all academic and vocational qualifications pupils achieved 100% pass rate and many achieved A*, A and B or equivalent grades. They will now go on to study a wide range of university courses and undertake apprenticeships in a variety of subjects.

Pupils achieved particularly well in Maths with a number of pupils achieving the higher-grade boundaries, and in History, half of all pupils achieved either an A or B grade. Whilst pupils performed well in all subject areas, results in the popular sports-based and other vocational disciplines were also especially positive.

Top grades were achieved across the range of academic subjects, including Maths, English, Geography, History, the Sciences, Photography and Computer Science, in which many pupils achieved ‘A’ grades. Pupils also achieved the highest possible grades in Psychology, Business, Human Biology, Criminology, Media and Performing Arts.

Notable achievers include Aimee Benson, who achieved an ‘A’ grade in Criminology and a ‘Distinction*’ in both Psychology and Health and Social Care. Aimee will now continue to study Philosophy at the University of York.

Adam Hughes achieved an ‘A’ grade in Maths and History, a ‘C’ in English and a ‘Distinction*’ in Music. He will now study Music at Leeds Conservatoire.

Lucas Stewart, who achieved an ‘A*’ in Maths, an ‘A’ in Computer Science, and a ‘B’ in Chemistry and Further Maths is planning to study Computer Science at Northumbria University, and Jack Warters, who has achieved a triple ‘Distinction*’ in Sport will now undertake an apprenticeship in Sport in a local primary school.

Krisztina Szabo, who achieved a Distinction* in Psychology and ‘B’ grades in Criminology and History, will progress to study Archaeology and Ancient History at the University of Durham, whilst Brooke Moore, who achieved a triple ‘Distinction*’ in Creative Media Production and a ‘B’ grade in Extended Project will now study Creative Writing at York St John University.

As the Sixth Form continues to grow in terms of the rapidly increasing number of pupils on roll, and in terms of the range of academic and vocational options available to young people, the Academy is looking forward to further success in the 2022-23 academic year.
