A LEVEL RESULTS SUMMER 2008
COLLINGHAM STUDENTS GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH!
Collingham students achieved better-than-ever A level results this year, with over 27% of passes at grade A and over 80% at A,B or C. The pass rate was 97.4%.
Particular praise is due to the English Department, with 30% A grades and 100% A,B and C grades, and to the Philosophy Department (31% A grades and 100% pass rate).
Fine Art, Chemistry, Further Maths, History of Art and Photography, among others, also gained 100% A,B or C grades.
Most Collingham leavers have been accepted at their first-choice university. We wish them success in their chosen degree courses.
COLLINGHAM STUDENT WINS THE FRAYLING PRIZE!
MORAG WILLIAMS, a Collingham sixthformer, has won the prestigious FRAYLING PRIZE, awarded by Professor Sir Christopher Frayling, Rector of the Royal College of Art. It is awarded every year for the best piece of work submitted from schools across the country. The works selected were exhibited at the Royal College of Art, and Morag received her prize at a special evening ceremony on Tuesday 13th May.
Another Collingham student, NICOLAS HUZELLA was one of the highly commended runners-up.
Congratulations to both Morag and Nicolas, and to their tutor, Head of Art Nicholas Merton Smith.
CIFE GOLD AWARD FOR EMMA BIGGS
The Council for Independent Further Education has awarded the annual prize for the highest-achieving student in any CIFE College to a Collingham student, Emma Biggs. The prestigious Gold Award is decided on A level results and all-round academic achievement. Emma’s results in three A levels and two AS subjects last summer included nine exam unit marks of 100%. The Awards Committee was particularly impressed by Emma’s ranking among the top ten in the country for A level Chemistry, and the breadth of her achievements, which included AS Art. Emma, who is now reading Natural Sciences at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, will collect her prize at a CIFE special reception in February.
