STUDENTS and staff alike were delighted with outstanding A-Level results at Dursley’s Rednock School.

With two students heading to Oxbridge and many more achieving A*s and As, the school had one of its best set of results yet.

Headteacher Dave Alexander said the school’s sixth form continues to go from “strength to strength” and expressed his pride in the “fantastic achievements” of his pupils.

“Rednock School’s sixth form continues to go from strength to strength,” Mr Alexander told the Gazette. “In this record breaking year, Callum Harries and Simon Allen have secured their places at Oxbridge with outstanding individual results. We are very proud of all our students and their fantastic achievements.

“Overall levels of academic achievement have set new standards. Rednock School students have demonstrated that everyone can succeed and show considerable progress. Every one of our students has got to their chosen destination or close to it.

“This is a tremendous achievement given the lack of selection. We have shown that ‘every one matters’.”

Friends Keira Madden and Victoria Grimshaw, picked up the results they needed to go to their universities of choice.

Keira received two A*s and two As, securing her place studying dentistry at Bristol University.

“I’m very pleased because I was very very nervous this morning,” she told the Gazette.

“I’m very excited now. I’ll be celebrating tonight.”

Victoria, who got an A*, a B and a C, said she was “ecstatic” to learn she had acquired what she needed to study primary education at Worcester University.

“I’m really pleased, I really didn’t think I was going to get that so I’m ecstatic,” she said.

Jack Peake picked up an A*, two As and a B in maths, further maths, physics and product design. He earned himself a position at Bath to study civil and architectural engineering.

Jack said he was pleased to have got what he needed and that he was aiming for a career in architectural engineering following his time at university.
