Students at Brighton, Hove And Sussex VI Form College (BHASVIC) achieved a record 99.6 per cent pass rate this year.
The college said: “BHASVIC’s results have improved yet again, even against last year’s record-breaking outcomes.
“The 99.6 per cent pass rate for A-level exams is up 0.2 percentage points on last year.
“From a total of 3,600 A level exams, 90.2 per cent of grades achieved A* to C (up 0.4 points), with 71.3 per cent gaining the coveted A* to B (up 1.3 points) which yet again demonstrates that BHASVIC is able to consistently deliver quality outcomes to a large number of students.
“Our BTEC results are also of a high quality, with a 98.7 per cent pass rate and 66.2 per cent of outcomes at distinction or above.
“This round of A levels saw all subjects adopt the new high stakes exams taken after two years of study, with BTECs also seeing the introduction of externally assessed exam components.
“With qualifications getting harder, this makes the achievements of BHASVIC students all the greater.”
BHASVIC principal William Baldwin said: “As a college community we are absolutely delighted.
“We are consistently within the top 1 per cent of state schools and colleges when it comes to A-level results.
“Students have worked incredibly hard to achieve these outcomes and staff have worked tirelessly to prepare students for this round of exams.
“We have such a talented group of staff who are specialists at working with this age group, who nurture and support our students to unlock their potential.
“To sustain our A* to B grades at over 70 per cent is an unprecedented achievement for a non-selective state provider.
“I’d like to congratulate our students and pay tribute to the schools who laid the foundations for this success.
“I’d also like to thank parents and carers for the support they provide – they are such an important factor in the success of our community.
“Regardless of the grades achieved, if a student can say ‘I’ve done my best’ then they should be rightly proud.
