Helston Students Do It Again!

Sixth form students from Helston Community College celebrated some outstanding exam results today. This wonderful year group have excelled with a near perfect 100% pass rate. Over half of the students achieved one or more of the top grades (A/A* or equivalent) and the vast majority of students applying to university have secured their first choice place. Our year 12 Construction students also performed exceptionally well, passing the BTEC Level 2 Construction Diploma after one year of study.

Our Year 13 students are moving on to a diverse range of higher education courses, employment, further vocational training and apprenticeships. This year sees over 40 students bound for university. We are thrilled to see students progressing into a wide range of fields. For example, Mia Penberthy is going on to study Biological and Medicinal Chemistry at the University of Exeter; Cavan Hill is going to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath; Amelia Lane is going to study Game Art at Falmouth University; and Charlotte Bibby will be studying Wildlife Conservation at Bath Spa University.
