College Celebrates Excellent A level Results 2022 

Huge congratulations to our year 13 students on achieving excellent results again this summer, the first year of public examinations since 2019.   We are delighted that over 75% of our students achieved their first choice university place in what has been a highly competitive year.  

Students have shown enormous resilience in the face of the significant challenges that the pandemic has posed and have made superb progress.  This is testament to their hard work, the high quality of teaching and support from our staff, and the support of parents and carers.     

There were some exceptional results in specific subject areas especially at the A*/B boundary as follows:  

A*/B grades 

Biology 78% 

Chemistry 82% 

Computer Science 60% 

Further Maths 100% 

History 76% 

Maths 60% 

Philosophy and Ethics 63% 

Physics 77% 

We wish our Year 13 students every happiness and fulfilment as they embark on the next stage of their life journey.  They will remain part of our community and will be in our thoughts and prayers as they go into to world to make their mark.  

“We are incredibly proud of the academic achievements and the wonderful results of our year 13 students but, as importantly, if not more so, we are proud of who they are.   They have developed in to fine young adults who will continue to make a positive contribution to society.   It is wonderful that our students have the academic qualifications that they need to access the universities and courses of their choice. 

I am incredibly grateful to our dedicated staff who go above and beyond day in, day out to support our students.  

This is a very happy day for St Ignatius College.  

Mary O’Keeffe Headteacher
