St Columba’s College is thrilled to announce another set of exceptional A Level results. The 2025 cohort have exceeded last year’s record breaking figures, increasing the percentage of entries achieving A*-A grades to 41.3%.
We are very proud of the diligence, determination and dedication shown by these students who have been supported wonderfully by our committed and caring teaching staff. Motivated by the Charism of our founder, Father Andre Coindre, our students receive a holistic education which is nurtured by personal attention and committed to academic excellence. Once again, our leavers will enter a wide variety of subject areas in many different locations, including the USA. In the new academic year, Columbans will be studying Architecture, Computer Science, History, Aeronautical Engineering, Philosophy, Geography, Law and Urban Planning, to name but a few disciplines. As well as degree courses, we are also proud of those who have secured competitive places on apprenticeship schemes.
Some of our most notable achievers are: Felix, with A* grades in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics, and an A in Chemistry, who will be studying Mathematics with Economics at University College London; Edward, with A* grades in Biology and French and an A in Chemistry, who will be studying Medicine at the University of Nottingham; and Rocco, with A* grades in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, an A in Biology and a B in Chemistry, which has secured him a place at the University of Bath to read Mathematics.
We are also delighted with the performance of Savannah; with A grades in Drama, English Literature and Psychology, she will proceed to Birmingham to read English Literature. Likewise, deputy head girl, Katja, has scored a trilogy of A grades in Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Economics and will commence a degree in Mathematics and Economics at the University of Nottingham. These learners reflect the growing number of our students achieving 3 or more A grades which now stands at over a quarter of the overall cohort.
We offer our congratulations to all the students and wish them every success in all their future endeavours as they take the Columban virtues into their many and varied career paths.
“I am filled with pride to see the tremendous successes of our young people, and yet another record-breaking year for St Columba’s College. These students and their teachers have worked so hard to achieve these outstanding results and I am proud to say this is what first-rate, holistic education looks like: happy and successful students heading towards their bright futures.”
Headmaster, Mr Karl Guest
