A special congratulations to all those students whose grades are affected.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Please note that no grades will be downgraded as a result of this change.)<\/p>\n Thursday 13 August:<\/strong><\/p>\n Chetham\u2019s A Level results are proof of an outstanding response – by students and teachers alike – to the unprecedented Covid-19 challenge this year, according to Principal Alun Jones.<\/p>\n Chetham\u2019s students were awarded a 100% A Level pass rate, with 73.4% of the grades at A*-B.<\/p>\n Alun Jones, Principal, said:<\/p>\n \u201cRegardless of the monumental challenges we have faced together this year, our students have continued to flourish academically, as well as musically.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery year, Chetham\u2019s students\u2019 impress us with their ability to juggle the demands of their world-class musical education alongside their academic studies \u2013 to achieve some of the best academic performance levels in the country. This year is no different.<\/p>\n \u201cWe congratulate each and every one of them for their results.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you also to our incredible team of staff, who work tirelessly in normal times, but since March have also delivered thousands of hours of bespoke remote learning for our students.<\/p>\n \u201cThe pass rate statistics validate that brilliant effort, but they tell only part of the Chetham\u2019s story. Our university candidates have chosen to read courses ranging from theatre production at Bristol Old Vic and Music Production at LIPA, to Forensics, Biosciences and Medicine at Peterhouse Cambridge. As ever we have a number of students heading off to read Academic Music at fabulous universitites, including Oxbridge, RHUL, KCL, and York. We are extremely proud of every student and we wish them the very best for the future!\u201d<\/p>\n As public examinations were cancelled this year due to the pandemic, our students\u2019 results are based on \u2018calculated grades\u2019. <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018Centre assessed grades\u2019 for each student\u2019s subjects are based on evidence of performance, and departmental assembled evidence. <\/em><\/p>\n The Examination Boards then standardised all grades using a statistical model developed with Ofqual which took account of previous national results in each subject, the prior attainment of our students this year compared to previous years and our school\u2019s results in each specific subject in recent years.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" UPDATE: Monday 17 August Following the Government’s decision to award students their Centre Assessed Grades, we are delighted to confirm that Chetham’s wonderful A Level students have now achieved 82.5% A*-B, rather than the 73.4% A*-B reported last week.
