A Level success for Alton Convent School

There may have been grey skies at 9.00am but Alton Convent School has seen a happy group of smiling, confident students receiving their A level results. Once again the pass rate for A Level has been 100%. Well over one third of students achieved A* – A grades and two thirds A*- B grades. This has ensured that all students have been accepted at universities of their choice to study a wide range of subjects including medicine, pharmacology, history, French and Russian. Special mention should be made of Beatrice Moffatt, Hannah Welsh and Charlotte Wright who each attained A* and A grades. Terry Welsh, Hannah’s father had this to say: "What a magnificent morning, after the sixteen years of education at Alton Convent School the wait was finally over, Hannah achieved 2 A* and 2 A's at A Level. Her mum and I are so proud of Hannah's commitment and hard work with her studies. We are also incredibly grateful to Mr Maher and his outstanding team at the school who have helped her achieve her dream of a place at Durham University.” Headmaster Graham Maher echoed his sentiments: “I am delighted with the excellent exam results and especially pleased that all the girls were accepted into the university of their choice.” Alton Convent School is not just about exam results but also about the extra-curricular subjects and the diverse range of trips and visits that are on offer at the school. For some of our sixth form students their next adventure starts almost immediately as they head off to India visiting our sister school St Joseph’s in Varanasi, where they will spend three weeks teaching and taking in the sights and sounds of India.
