More NewsAcademy Work Experience
Academy Work Experience (AWE) has now launched and is available to all Sixth Form students across the Academy enabling them to develop qualities of leadership, to assume greater responsibility and to contribute to the smooth running of the Academy. Placements give an insight into the world of work and are very important in helping students make decisions about future careers. Sixth Form students who successfully complete the programme receive certificates for their efforts and the experience will help their transition to higher education, the world of work and adult life. We are committed to developing our students’ skills and attributes to ensure they leave as the well-rounded, responsible, community members that are so attractive to universities and employers.
Julie Baldwin
Acting AVP and Achievement Leader for Sixth Form
The idea of having work experience roles within the Academy allows us, the students, to fully engage with our chosen area and experience what it would be like as a career.
Although, the Academy Work Experience (AWE) is new to us, I feel as though I have benefitted hugely, as I am more comfortable with speaking to new people. It has also taught me a lot about time management and how to organise schedules successfully. I feel very important within my role as an Assistant Receptionist and have built up a friendly and positive relationship with the staff.
I look forward to work experience every week and feel that the benefits are huge.

Report on Year 13 Examinations 2016
Report on Year 13 Examinations 2016
Sponsors and Governors are pleased to announce a significant improvement in students’ results in A Level and Vocational courses for the 2016 examinations. With an A Level pass rate of 100% A*-E, and a Vocational pass rate of 100%, students have every reason to be proud. The average point score per student has also gone up significantly.
Although there were outstanding grades in many subjects, we are particularly pleased for students who studied BTECs in Sport as all students achieved top grades. Special mention must go to Jonathan Wyllie, who achieved an amazing triple Distinction* qualification in Sport.
We are delighted to announce that Chandler Russell is our highest achieving student attaining A*, A and B grades in Maths, Further Maths and Physics respectively and an A in his EPQ. Chandler collected his results and there were a few tense moments while he logged into his UCAS account to confirm that he will be embarking on a maths degree at Southampton. After receiving congratulations from Head of Maths, Jeff Bowes, Chandler rushed off to share the good news with his parents.
Business Studies student Laurna Haynes gained two Distinction grades at BTEC with a B and C grade at A level. Not only is Laurna the first member of her family to gain a university place but her grades mean that she has also gained a scholarship for her chosen course at University of Gloucestershire.
The Chair of Governors, David Fraser, said ‘We are really pleased with our results. So many of our students have worked hard to achieve these excellent grades, which means that more students than ever are leaving All Saints with an excellent preparation for the world of work and further study.”
