Success for Sibford students
A student at Sibford School who has over-come significant adversities was celebrating today after gaining two As and a B at A Level and being accepted by her first choice of university.
Imogen Roberts, who has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, received A Grades in Physics and Maths and a B in Drama. She now plans to spend a gap year, initially in Fiji where she hopes to work for a charitable NGO, before moving on to Australia, where, along with fellow Sibford student Julia Beaumont, she has won a competition to attend the renowned European Bartending School in Sydney.
In September 2019, she will then take up her place at the University of York to study Theatre.
Overall nearly a third of Sibford students gained A* and A Grades in their A Levels and BTEC exams.
Alex Connolly, Will Edmonds and Emily Gibb all gained three straight A Grades at A Level, and there was impressive success for Sibford’s international students … Edward Lui gained A*s in Maths and Further Maths, an A in Physics and a B in Chemistry and Shin Zou gained A*s in Art and Maths and a C in Design.
Tom Mahon gained Distinction* (the equivalent of an A* at A Level) in his BTEC Countryside Management Diploma and a Distinction (the equivalent of an A Grade at A Level) in his IT BTEC; Alex George, Oliver Keers and James McCullough all gained Distinction* in their IT BTEC; and Arran Day gained Distinction* in his Media BTEC.
Sibford Head Toby Spence said: “This has been another fine year for our Sixth Form students after a record breaking set of results last year. We are delighted for the achievements of so many students who are moving on to a diverse range of exciting destinations including Russell Group universities, prestigious drama colleges and art schools, film studios and gap years. I congratulate the students for their resilience and hard work as well as the fabulous support and guidance of the dedicated teaching staff at Sibford School.”
