Meden School students celebrate - every A Level entry secures a pass!
Students at Meden School in Warsop, part of Nova Education Trust, are celebrating a strong set of A Level and post-16 results this summer, with every A Level entry securing a pass grade and students achieving success across academic and vocational courses alike.
More than half of all A Level entries were graded A* to B, and three quarters reached A* to C.
Value added measures, which compare students' final grades against their prior attainment at GCSE, were positive across all pathways, showing that students achieved in line with and beyond national expectations from their starting points.
Individual successes
Among this year's standout performers:
- Elizabeth Emery achieved three A grades in Biology, Chemistry and Maths.
- Daniel Kenwright secured an A* in Maths alongside A grades in Chemistry and Physics.
- Dylan Reddington gained A grades in Physics, History and his Extended Project, with a B in Maths.
- Grace O'Connor achieved A grades in English Literature and Sociology.
Subject successes
There were particularly strong performances in Physics, where students achieved above expectations, and across the sciences and maths, which produced several of the school's top individual results including an A* in Maths.
Vocational students also excelled, with the Level 3 Criminology Diploma delivering two A* grades and a strong set of high grades across the course.
Simon Morton, headteacher at Meden School, said: “I could not be prouder of our students.
"These results reflect real determination and hard work, and behind every grade is a young person who has grown in confidence and ambition during their time with us.
"It is wonderful to see success right across the board, from our high-flying scientists and mathematicians to our vocational students achieving top grades.
"I want to thank our staff, whose dedication makes days like this possible, and our families for their support.
"Our students are leaving us ready for the next stage of their lives, and I wish every one of them the very best.”
A new chapter: Nova16 North
This summer's results come as the sixth form enters an exciting new chapter with the launch of Nova16 North, a sixth form created through a collaboration between Meden School and The Garibaldi School.
Part of Nova Education Trust, Nova16 North brings together the strengths of both schools to offer students across north Nottinghamshire a broader range of subjects, expanded enrichment opportunities and enhanced careers guidance, alongside the high-quality teaching and personal support behind this year's results.
The launch reflects Nova Education Trust's commitment to creating aspirational, inclusive learning cultures and ambitious opportunities for every young person in its family of schools.
