In common with their counterparts across the country Hele’s School and Plympton Academy students have been discovering the results of their A Level and GCSE studies.
At Hele’s School sisters Xsara and Amber Lord achieved 3 As and 2 Bs and a C between them. This has enabled Xsara to go to the University of Exeter to study Law and Amber to secure a place at the University of Bristol to study Dentistry.
Fellow Hele’s students Harry Davidson, Tommy Ayres, Lewis Corkhill and Dan Brookes all celebrated excellent results in A Level Drama alongside their other subjects, while Jasmine O’Hagan had her family with her to celebrate her 3 A and 1 B grades which means she too can go to the University of Exeter to study Law.

Hele’s principal, Justine Mason, said:
“Again this year, we are really pleased with the performance of our students but as we say every year, success is measured far beyond the classroom and students are not defined by a set of grades; we celebrate all that these young people have brought to Hele’s over their time with us and this cohort certainly brought a lot for which we are very grateful!
“As the students now fly the Hele’s nest, there are definitely exciting times ahead for them all! I am a proud Principal today and want to both congratulate and thank our wonderful students for all they have done in their time with us. As we always say, ‘once Team Hele’s, always Team Hele’s’ and we look forward to hearing what they’ve all been up to in years to come!”
Over at Plympton Academy students performed particularly well in areas such as Music, Health and Social Care, Performing Arts, Photography and Chemistry. The Academy’s Applied General Qualifications also compared favourably against national expectations.
