Pharmacy, astrophysics and law are among university courses awaiting Cromwell Community College students

Students and staff at Cromwell Community College in Chatteris are celebrating the success of A-Level results day.

The college, which is part of The Active Learning Trust, has seen many of its students’ secure places at university, while others have secured apprenticeships and employment opportunities.

Three quarters (75 per cent) of Year 13s applied to university, with half of these applications to study at Russell Group universities including Durham University, University of Sheffield and the University of Nottingham.

Cromwell Community College students attending university will be studying a range of subject including pharmacy, astrophysics, archaeology, fine art, biomedicine and law. One student is also applying to study in the USA following a gap year.

Those not going to university are pursuing exciting careers such as the RAF, the police apprenticeship scheme, local employment at ALS Chatteris, and engineering apprenticeships at Stainless Metalcraft.

Jane Horn, headteacher a, said: “All of us here at Cromwell Community College are so proud of our students for the incredible commitment, enthusiasm and dedication they’ve shown over the last few years. We wish them all well for their futures, whichever route they choose to follow.

“The fantastic set of results are testament to our excellent teaching staff, who go above and beyond for our students day in and day out. Their effort, work ethic, sense of humour, and attitude has been inspiring.”
