Callywith College’s first students excel at half-way stage
Students at Callywith College in Bodmin are celebrating their exam results having excelled at the half way stage of their courses, with their performance comparing very favourably with that of their fellow students at Truro and Penwith College and outperforming national averages. Students have particularly excelled in STEM subjects and in vocational areas serving the local economy such as Health and Social Care and IT.
SMILING FACES AS OUR FIRST YEAR OF STUDENTS COLLECT THEIR RESULTS
Students completing their AS levels and vocational Foundation Diplomas have achieved some fantastic results with results in 24 subjects exceeding national averages and 100% pass rates in 12 AS level subjects including Further Maths, Computer Science, English Literature, Geology, Photography, French, German and Spanish.
Former St Joseph’s school student Bethany Spink achieved 3 A's in her AS levels:
“I’m over the moon with my results, it really shows what dedication to your studies and hard work can achieve. My goal is to study Law at University after I leave Callywith College and these results are putting me on the right path to achieve this.”
Ethan Cude who transferred to Callywith was delighted with his results: “I feel very lucky that Callywith College opened this year and I was able to join and restart my A Levels. My results have confirmed for me that coming to Callywith was the right decision and I’m now on the right track for attending the University of my choice.”
