Categories: Latest Academy News, Featured

Today, Sixth Formers at Northampton Academy are celebrating after securing places at top universities, including the University of Oxford, off the back of an excellent set of A Level results.

Students have been rewarded for the hard work and dedication they have put into their studies over the past two years by gaining places at a host of Russell Group institutions. Impressively, students will be studying a wide range of competitive and high-quality courses, notably Law, Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics.

Among those celebrating today are three exceptional Sixth Formers who achieved all A*s. They include:

  • Sam Burn, who achieved four A*s in Computer Science, Further Maths, Maths, and Physics, and will be studying Physics at the University of Oxford;
  • Michael Guttormsen, who achieved three A*s in Further Maths, Maths and Physics, and will be studying Mathematics at The University of Edinburgh;
  • William Chamberlain, who achieved three A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Geography, and will be studying Biochemistry at the University of Glasgow.

On opening his results, Sam said:
“I’m speechless! All my hard work has paid off. I’m very excited and I can’t wait to go to Oxford and start my Integrated Masters in Physics.”

Michael said:
“I have had lots of help from my teachers over the last two years and I’m looking forward to the next part of my journey in Edinburgh where I’ll be studying Maths.”

William said:
“I’m over the moon! I have put in a lot of hard work to get these grades and I would like to thank all of my teachers for their support.”

Other standout successes at the academy include:

  • Oliver Gieldon, who achieved two A*s in Further Maths and Maths and an A in Physics, and will be studying Mechanical Engineering at University College London;
  • Yash Kaintura, who achieved two A*s in Further Maths and Maths, and an A in Computer Science, and will be studying Mathematics at the University of Warwick;
  • Denis Zela, who achieved an A* in Mathematics and two As in Biology and Chemistry, and will be studying Medicine at Imperial College London.

More widely across the year group, students secured a raft of top grades with 31% of A Level entries achieving grades A*-A and two-thirds (60%) achieving grades A*-B.

Owen Jones, Principal at Northampton Academy, said:

Well done to all our Year 13 students collecting their results today; they are highly deserving of their success and should be proud of what they have achieved. It is particularly pleasing to see so many of our young people securing places at top universities to study such high-quality and challenging courses. I have no doubt that they will continue to thrive in their learning.

“I also want to congratulate and thank our fantastic teams of staff for their ongoing support of our students, both in the classroom and beyond. Alongside ensuring our young people can achieve well academically, we are committed to developing them into well-rounded and confident young people, and it is testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff that we are able to do just that.”
