Arthur Mellows Village College: 'Outstanding' results despite challenges of the pandemic

Jonathan Oakley, the school’s Head of College told the Peterborough Telegraph that once again, outstanding A Level and Vocational results have been achieved by Year 13 students at Arthur Mellows Village College.

After many challenges, including two lockdowns and, for many students, additional isolation periods, the school wishes to acknowledge the resilience, commitment, drive, and hard work of the students.

The school is immensely proud of their ability to overcome these major obstacles to sit a series of examinations for the first time in three years and wishes to acknowledge the hard work of colleagues and the support of parents / carers in guiding the young people through these challenging unprecedented times.

It is an understatement to say that the Sixth Form Team are proud of their students who have secured places at top Universities to study a range of courses including Medicine, Economics, Law, Film / Television, Mathematics, Civil Engineering, Midwifery, Paramedic Science, History and Music. Other students have managed to obtain places on

competitive Apprenticeship and Degree Apprenticeship programs, and in employment.
