Petroc’s A Level results have smashed a series of records at the college’s Barnstaple and Tiverton campuses, this year.

In Barnstaple, exactly 99% of students passed their exams – an all-time high. More than a fifth of students (21.73 per cent) achieved A* or A grades.

The pass rate in Tiverton increased dramatically, climbing by 7% to 96.49%. Meanwhile, the percentage of students passing at grade A* to C, rose by more than 15%.

The college’s Director for Curriculum and Innovation, Huw Davies said: “We’re delighted with these record breaking results that reflect the extraordinary amount of hard work put in by our students and the team, here at Petroc.

“A Levels are often referred to as the ‘gold standard’ for colleges and our learners have never shone more brightly.

“Today’s results clearly illustrate why Petroc is a beacon of excellence for high quality further education in Devon.”

Nationally, the A Level pass rate was 97.8%.

If you are interested in studying A Levels at Petroc, places are still available for courses starting this autumn.
