Coulsdon College is celebrating the biggest improvement to date of its A level and BTEC National results. A Level and BTEC pass marks are at 99%, with 73% achieving high grades.

Principal Brett Freeman is delighted, especially with an 11% rise in the number of students who successfully completed courses.  

Mr Freeman said: “These much improved results put us way above the national average. We have achieved this whilst maintaining high retention rates, which means that those who join us in the Lower Sixth, stay with us, working hard to ensure they reach their full potential. I am particularly proud of that. 330 students have successfully achieved nearly 1000 qualifications this year.”

Mr Freeman continued: “This has been an outstanding year for Coulsdon College but now it’s time to look forward to the arrival of our new Lower Sixth who will be joining us in a couple of weeks. We do still have a limited number of places on some courses and I would urge students to apply as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Go to www.coulsdon.ac.uk/apply for application details.”

Executive Principal of the Reigate and Coulsdon Federation, Steve Oxlade stated that he “couldn’t be more pleased with this year’s results” and that “all the work by staff from both colleges means that students have achieved the results which will act as their springboard to a successful future.”
