Barnsley Sixth Form College is celebrating another excellent set of A Level
results with a 98% overall pass rate and a 100% pass rate in 18 subjects,

Mathematics and is going to University of Cambridge to study Natural
Sciences; former Penistone Grammar School pupil Nathan Phipp-Macintrye, 19,

Denise Jelly, Barnsley Sixth Form College Principal, said: “We are delighted
to be announcing another excellent set of results and would like to
congratulate our students on their achievements.

“Our students have worked extra hard to meet the demands of the A Level
reforms and they have demonstrated a sustained commitment to their studies
over the last two years. The dedication and resilience demonstrated by our
students is evident in this year’s results.

“At Barnsley Sixth Form College, our staff and students have a culture of
high aspirations and I’m pleased to see so many students are progressing
onto Higher Education, apprenticeships or employment. I would like to wish
them all the best of luck with their future careers.”
