Coleshill School Sixth Form Students Celebrate Post-16 Results

Coleshill School Sixth Form is celebrating another year of Sixth Form results, reflecting the commitment, resilience, and talent of its students.

Across A-level and vocational courses at the school, which is part of the respected Arthur Terry Learning Partnership, students have achieved the grades needed to secure places at their chosen universities, apprenticeships, and professional pathways.

This year the school has seen success and positive outcomes in technical qualifications and the first T-Level Cohort in Education and Childcare.  It saw the highest result in its Sport Extended Diploma (with a D*, D*, D*) and students in the vocational subjects achieving full marks in their exams.

A statement from the school said that Coleshill’s core values — work hard, be kind, and take responsibility — have been central to this success.

“Students have shown determination in their studies, compassion and support for one another, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning and future goals. Today’s results stand as a testament to the perseverance and character that define The Coleshill School community.”

Natasha Blunt, Associate Assistant Head and Head of Sixth form, added: “We would like to congratulate the Class of 2025 on their exam results.  Throughout their educational journey through secondary and into sixth form, we know that they have faced challenge and adversity, which they have come through, together.  They have worked hard and we wish them success in their next steps”.

Rebecca Brindley, Head of School, said: “We are proud of our Sixth Form students — not only for their academic achievements but also for the maturity and integrity they have shown throughout their time with us. These results are a reflection of their dedication and the unwavering support of our staff and families. As our young people move on to university, higher-level apprenticeships, or the workplace, they take with them the skills, confidence, and values that will shape their futures. The paths they are choosing are as diverse and exciting as the individuals themselves, and we are confident they will continue to make a positive difference in the world.”

The Coleshill School congratulates all students, staff, and families on this outstanding achievement, and thanks our wider community for their continued encouragement and belief in our young people.

Exam Results advice

Waiting for and receiving your exam results can be an anxious time.

Young minds, the UK’s leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health, offer advice for young people feeling anxious and nervous about your results.

Here are some top tips:

Congratulate yourself

Whether you get the results you expected or not, that’s OK. Try to celebrate what you have achieved, whether that’s academically or not – you’ve survived your exams and you deserve to be proud of that. Try to celebrate what you have achieved.

Consider your options

School isn’t the end of the world – you can do so much more, even if you don’t pass your exams. Education is everything, but education doesn’t stop at school; you can be educated on an apprenticeship and continue learning. You can do so much more – even if you don’t pass your exams.

Contemplating University Clearing?

Going through Clearing to get into a university isn’t always a bad thing.

People who didn’t get in to their first choice university went through Clearing and were often accepted to better universities than they originally planned.

In some cases, even those who achieved their target grades went through Clearing because they decided they wanted to go to a different university than they had initially applied for.

Take it slow

Moving onto the next step is a very personal thing, so giving yourself time to breathe could give you a whole new perspective.

Try not to make decisions in the heat of the moment. Take as much time as you need to work out your next steps, and ask for help if you need it.

Remember to de-stress

Despite the reassurance, sometimes the stress of the situation can get you down.

To overcome the stress, make sure to stay connected to your passions and use each stressful situation as a learning experience.
