Students at Southern Regional College (SRC) are celebrating another year of excellent A-Level results, continuing the College’s strong record of academic achievement.
As thousands of students across Northern Ireland received their results yesterday (August 13), SRC students achieved an impressive overall pass rate of 96.6%, reflecting their hard work, commitment and determination throughout the academic year.
A number of subjects achieved an outstanding 100% pass rate, including Biology, English Literature and Religious Studies, demonstrating the high quality of teaching and learning across the College’s A-Level provision.
Among those celebrating their success was:
- Chloe Bruce from Armagh, who achieved an A in Geography and a B in English Literature and Psychology. She is hoping to study a BEd in Primary Education at
Stranmillis University College. - Also celebrating her achievements is Jessica Livingstone from Armagh who achieved Distinction, Distinction, Merit. Having completed a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Applied Science, Jessica hopes to begin a Higher-Level Apprenticeship in Bioscience.
Academic success at SRC extends beyond traditional A-Levels with many students achieving 3 BTEC Distinction Stars (D*D*D*), equivalent to three A* grades at A-level.
Based at the College’s Armagh campus, SRC’s A-Level Academy offers students the opportunity to study a broad range of 13 AS and A2 subjects. The curriculum includes STEM subjects such as Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry, alongside popular choices including Government and Politics, Nutrition and Food Science, Sociology and Psychology, providing students with a strong basis for higher education, apprenticeships and future careers.
Stephen Rogan, Head of Faculty for Computing, Design and Academic Studies at Southern Regional College commented: “This year’s A-Level results are a fantastic reflection of the hard work our students have shown throughout the year, as well as the incredible support from our teaching staff who have helped every student reach their potential.
While we celebrate these excellent results, we are equally proud of the confidence and independence students have developed along the way. Whether they are heading to
university, apprenticeships or the world of work, they leave us ready to embrace new opportunities. It’s been a privilege to be part of their journey and I wish them every success as they take their next steps.”
