Another fantastic year at GCC as A Level results delivered. Out of those who sat A Level exams at Greenwich Community College 100% passed in many subjects. 342 started on this journey last year taking the overall achievement rate up by 1.4%. Aasim Mirza, was one of those.

The former Student Union President and double award winning student returned to take A Levels in Government & Politics, Law and English Literature achieving two A’s and one B. Aasim opened his results knowing his place at University was secure after checking the UCAS website and said “what an amazing journey it has been, these last 3 years. I am thankful to God for blessing me with such amazing teachers and tutors. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not for you all. Thank you so much” – a Law LLB awaits.

Another student going onto study at University is Alfie Meekings, who will be attending Queen Mary’s University in East London to read Law. Alfie achieved A’s in Law and Business Studies and B in Sociology leaving him feeling “really happy, ecstatic and relieved”!

20 year old Sana Khan achieved A’s in her Maths and English A Levels and a B in French. Sana is going onto study BSC Economics at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies). She commented “It’s a relief that the pressure is over – I’m really excited about going to Uni. It was difficult, as these subjects required a lot of attention to detail. I’m proud of my results and getting into my first choice Uni. Feyi Bamgbala achieved 4 A levels in Maths (B), chemistry©, Biology© and Psychology© and will soon be attending the City University of London to study a Radiography BA “I’m so excited, I’m gonna miss College but I’m so excited to be moving on. I’m happy, really really happy”

Steve Whittingham, Director of Academic Programmes at Greenwich Community College is proud of our increase in results at full A Level, with even higher grades than last year and said “We are thrilled at this year’s A Level results with 100% pass rates in Maths, English, Law, Psychology, Economics, Biology, German, French, Spanish, Music and Media Studies.

Undoubtedly, this is down to the tremendous hard work of our students principally but also because of the superb teaching and commitment of the staff. I really want to congratulate everybody for these magnificent results. Never believe that A Levels are getting easier – it is students who are working harder and teachers who believe in them!”
