POST 16 RESULTS 2019

Tallis: hard work leads to success, again.

Tallis continues to be in the top 10% of all Sixth Forms in Britain for the value we add to our student body. Student achievement at A-level is again outstanding, even in a year when the harder ‘Linear’ A-levels were taken by all candidates.
 
Over two hundred and forty students took A-level or BTEC exams at Thomas Tallis in 2019. 20% of A-level entries obtained A*/A grades, and 55% achieved A*-B grades. The pass rate in all our A-level subjects was 99.6%. Almost half of our BTEC students obtained Distinction or starred Distinction grades, forty students gained ABB or better, up on last year, and fifteen BTEC students obtained straight Distinction grades or better. 
 
Almost 150 students from Thomas Tallis are taking up university places, with over 50 of our applicants going on to Russell Group universities. Nearly two thirds of our students are going on to the ‘Russell Group Plus’ – that is, top-10-for-subject, highly specialist single-faculty institutions such as SOAS, and the Russell Group institutions themselves.
 
As always, there were some extraordinary individual performances: Milli Lewis, A*A*A*, taking up a place at Cambridge to read English; Majlind Grozda (AAA, Medicine at University College, London);  Lisa Tran and Fikayo Ifeoula are also reading Medicine, but at King’s College, London;  Jannell Adufo (A*A*A*, Commercial Photography at Arts University, Bournemouth); Jamie Cuthbert (A*A*A*A*, going on to read Maths at Manchester), Freya Dixon (A*A*A*A*, going on to read Physics at Manchester), Annie Liang (A*AAB, reading Engineering at Imperial), Martha McHardy (AAA, Politics at Durham) and Tom McTurk (A*A*AA, reading Maths at Warwick).  Nine students got AAA or better at Tallis this year, but students performed consistently across the ability range.  There were very many other strong performances, with students from Tallis taking up university places at Cambridge, Imperial, UCL, Edinburgh, Leeds, York, Bristol, Birmingham, UCL (6 students! a record!), King’s, Durham, Nottingham, Manchester and universities beginning with most other letters of the alphabet.
 
Besides this, thirty-five or so Tallis students are taking up places at Art colleges all over Britain, including at most of the constituent colleges of the University of the Arts, London.
 
15 Tallis BTEC students from our cohort of 63 achieved at least one Distinction* grade, and a great many BTEC students are going on to prestigious institutions for further study:  Ikram Ahmed (D*DD, studying Business at Queen Mary’s, University of London), Hiruni Gunasekara (DDD, studying Economics at East Anglia), Tatjana Janosevic (D*DD, studying Nursing at King’s College, London), Ellie Hodgson (D*D*, studying Midwifery at King’s College, London), Phoebe Kemigisha (D*DD, studying Midwifery at Kingston), Jamelia Neufville (D*DD, studying Psychology at Northampton) and Daniel White (D*DD, studying Law at City University, London).
 
Head, Carolyn Roberts commented:
We are very proud of all of our young people who work with determination and passion to achieve their aims. We expect them to understand the world, and change it for the better.

KEY STAGE 4 Results 2019

We had another good GCSE results day here at Tallis. It was nice to see our young people again, so many of whom are very pleased with their results, and to say a final good bye to those who leave us to learn elsewhere. We value all of our students’ endeavours, no matter what grade they are awarded and some students have triumphed against almost overwhelming difficulties. We never give up on them.
 
However, the top grades are the ones usually reported at this time of year so we include these for information:  
 
19 students have 7 or more grades 7 to 9.
6 students have 10 or more grades 7 to 9.
2 students have all 11 GCSEs awarded grades 7 to 9.
16% of all grades were awarded 7 to 9.
​One of our students achieved 8 grade 9s and another achieved 7 grade 9s.
 
We are glad to be able to send our students onto the next stage of their careers with the qualifications they need.  
 
Tallis post-16 enrolment happens at the same time as GCSE. It has been particularly buoyant this year with over 350 new year 12s joining us in one of the top 10% sixth forms in the country.
