A-level results day 2024: ‘Outstanding results’ at Cardiff Sixth Form College Cambridge
Cardiff Sixth Form College Cambridge (CSFC) has achieved outstanding results this year with its first cohort of A level students.
The Cambridge campus, which opened in Regent Street in September 2022, specialises in helping STEM students gain places to some of the world’s leading universities.
This year’s results saw just under half of all grades (47 per cent) being graded A* with one student achieving a stunning straight five A* grades.
Some 25 per cent of all students achieved four or more A* grades and 44 per cent of the year group achieved A*s in three or more subjects.
Overall, 63 per cent of the student body achieved all A*-A grades and 67 per cent were awarded four or more A grades at A-level this year.
The stunning results have enabled the CSFC Cambridge students to go onto leading universities around the world, with 75 per cent of students gaining places at QS top 100 universities worldwide, eight per cent securing Oxbridge places, 92 per cent places at Russell Group Universities and 42 per cent at the G5 universities of Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial College and UCL.
Principal Dr Julian Davies said: “Our inaugural student body has achieved outstanding A-level results in the college’s first year of operation.
“I, like them, will remember this special and momentous time and I congratulate them for their wonderful university destinations and for their commitment to a full realisation of what it means to be a CSFC Cambridge student.”
One student Sarah Saw, an 18-year-old student from Singapore, has been accepted to Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge University to study medicine. Sarah, who achieved four A*s in biology, chemistry, maths and physics in her A-levels today plus an A for her EPQ, has demonstrated exceptional academic performance and a strong commitment to science and community service.
Cesare Mencarini, a 17-year-old student who studied maths, further maths, chemistry and physics at Cardiff Sixth Form College, has achieved remarkable success building a highly sophisticated nuclear fusor reactor in school. Cesare, who achieved four A*s in his A-levels today plus an A* in his EPQ, has been requested to work full-time role at Bristol University after showcasing his reactor during the Cambridge Science Festival, representing Cambridge, where he demonstrated its potential alongside Imperial College, Bristol and Bangor universities.
