Above the national average, 80% of OLA students have secured their first choice of university at a range of top Russell Group universities, including Cardiff, Leeds and York. The diversity of our students is reflected in their subject choices which include Biochemistry, Business, Cyber Security, Ecology, Engineering, Law and Sport.
OLA has a diverse range of students, some of whom have additional needs, and it is a testament to the strong relationships between students and teachers that each and every individual is able to fulfil their potential.
Commenting on the results Head of OLA, Daniel Gibbons said: “We continue to live out our core purpose of “To each according to their needs”, and we are very proud of each individual student and all that they achieve, both in and out of the classroom. All students at all levels of ability have performed to their potential in their A-levels, and we wish them the very best for their futures, whether it is at university or in the workplace.”
