Plympton Academy rejoices in Post 16 results

Plympton Academy, located on Moorland Road and part of Thinking Schools Academy Trust, is celebrating its students who have achieved a strong set of A Level and BTEC grades today.

Students at Plympton have been working hard over the course of their sixth form studies and have achieved a good set of grades with the Academy performing particularly well in areas such as Music, Health and Social Care, Performing Arts, Photography and Chemistry.  The Academy’s Applied General Qualifications also compared favourably against national expectations. 

Many students are now preparing to head on to the university, apprenticeship or job of their choice.

While all students have done well, there are some standout individual achievements. These include:

• Anubhav Dangal who achieved A* in Maths, B in Further Maths, B in Physics and C in Computer Science. Anubhav is now going to university to study Computer Science.
• Jamie Dobson who achieved Distinction in Engineering, Distinction in Music Technology and Distinction in Music Performance.  Jamie will attend university to study Music.
• Josh Wallace who gained Distinction in Dance and Double Distinction in Performing Arts.  Josh is off to study Performing Arts at Mountview, one of the UK’s leading drama schools.

Collecting results today, students have said:

Anubhav Dangal: “I feel good today, we put in so much effort, and it is great to see that they paid off. I am so pleased because I also got the international excellence scholarship which supports with 50% of my university fees.”

Josh Wallace: “I can’t believe today, I feel like anything is possible.  At Plympton Academy, no dream is too big and no star is too far.”’

Shaun Willis, Vice Principal at Plympton Academy, said:

“We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding Post 16 achievements of our students, who have truly made us proud with their hard work and dedication.

“As our students move forward, I encourage them to continue striving for excellence and to embrace opportunities for growth and learning.
