Churchill Academy & Sixth Form Students Celebrate A-level Results
Students at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form are celebrating their A-level results following years of hard work and determination to succeed.
Chris Hildrew, Headteacher at Churchill Academy & Sixth Form, commented:
“The A-level results this year are a true reflection of our students' determination and effort, and we couldn't be prouder of their achievements. The results are also a testament to the ongoing work and commitment of our Sixth Form staff to provide students with a unique learning experience that prepares them for life after school. Students continue to excel in Art and Design, including Textiles, as well as in Religious Studies, Economics, Music Technology, Mathematics, Psychology, Spanish and Physics, highlighting success across the comprehensive and wide-ranging curriculum offered at Churchill. We know the effort behind every grade and we extend our warmest congratulations to every student on their achievements today.”
In the Academy’s latest Ofsted Report, which was released in June 2025, its Sixth Form provision is described as having a “comprehensive approach to preparing pupils for life beyond school”, with sixth form students progressing to “destinations that align with their interests and aspirations”. The latest results confirm that many of Churchill’s students have secured their university place, many of which are their first-choice destination.
Among the many outstanding achievements are Adam Barringer who achieved four A* grades at A-level. Adam will be going on to study Chemistry at the University of Manchester. Ellie Gooch secured a place at St Peter’s College, Oxford to study Politics, Philosophy and Economics with two A*s and an A; Lily Wiltshire also achieved A*A*A to secure a place at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford to read Law; and Sam Bugler also achieved A*A*A and will study Mathematics at UCL. Samuil Vasilev achieved straight A* and A grades and will go on to study Medicine at the University of Exeter. Similarly achieving straight A* and A grades were: Tom Vangasse (Computer Science at Loughborough), Louis Kanaan (Aeronautics and Astronautics, Southampton), Hannah Fowler (Maths and Philosophy, Edinburgh), Max Clifton (Biology, Exeter), Eleanor Woollven (Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Bath), Toby Wilson (Medicine), Oli Gray (Paramedic Science) and Erin Mainwairing. Other top performers included Haneen Modawi (A*A*B) who is going on to study Law at Bristol, whilst Sophie Taylor, Lauren Chetland, Eloise Buncher all achieved A*AB in their A-levels.
In addition, many students have also secured highly sought-after places on apprenticeship courses and other training opportunities, whilst others are planning gap years to broaden and build their experience before taking their next steps. Ford Page has secured a Degree Apprenticeship in Aerospace Engineering through Airbus, and Erin Mainwaring was successful in obtaining an Apprenticeship in Accountancy at Albert Goodwin Accountants.
Hannah Sheppard, Assistant Headteacher - Sixth Form, comments:
“We're thrilled to celebrate the success of our Class of 2025. What truly stands out is the breadth of achievement across all our A-level subjects, which speaks to the diverse talents of our students and the strength of our curriculum. It's a joy to see students move on to a wide range of paths, from top universities to highly sought-after apprenticeships and careers, each path tailored to their passions. Every student's journey is unique, and we congratulate each and every one of them on their personal achievements.”
