Delighted sixth form students at The Latimer Arts College are celebrating success today [Thursday 13 August, 2015] after receiving their A Level results.

Principal, Siobhan Hearne said: “We are extremely proud of our students and the success that they have achieved this year.

“There has been a 10 per cent increase in the number of students gaining three A Levels with us, as well as the highest number of A* grades in the College’s history.

“Students studying vocational qualifications have exceeded their expected grades and we anticipate all of our students have secured their places at university.

Rowan Ramsay (18) achieved an A grade in Business Studies and a double-award of two As in Sports Studies. He said: “I’m very pleased with what I’ve got and hope to go to Derby University to study Sports and Business.”
