Students at Newcastle-under-Lyme School were celebrating after achieving excellent A level results today. Approaching two thirds of all examinations received the top A*-B Grades, despite the well-publicised national pressure to downgrade this year. Headmaster, Michael Getty, was very proud of his students, commenting, “Every year group has its own identity and this cohort is characterised by its immensely hardworking approach, enormous resilience and by the diversity apparent in their interests and future directions. They now depart to study at the likes of Oxford, Cambridge and other Russell Group Universities that are often at the very top of the heap for their specialisms, on a vastly diverse range of courses, from Medicine, Mathematics and Architecture through to Textiles, Politics, and Artificial Intelligence!”
NULS’ academic reputation is longstanding, with Mr Getty continuing, “This year has seen a continued focus nationally on how exams will be downgraded and it is pleasing to see our students’ tenacity and dedicated approach rewarded in what is actually this cohort’s first formal experience of national examinations. A key aspect for us is that we have helped our students find their true calling and where their gifts and passions lie, and now they are headed to pursue these directions at the very best institutions in the country and even abroad in the United States. This is a year group that was at the epicentre of the challenges presented by Covid and deserves considerable praise to have come through so successfully. We are very proud of them!”
Some of our students told us what is next for them after they leave NULS.
