Students at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts have had another year of “exceptional A Level achievements”, surpassing national benchmarks.
Over 61 per cent secured A*-B grades compared with the UK national average of 55.2 per cent, and 82.5 per cent secured A*-C grades compared with the UK national average of 77.9 per cent.
Lois Ashcroft, academic director, shared her pride in the Sixth Form cohort: “This year’s academic results are a powerful reflection of our students’ determination, discipline, and passion. Balancing their academic goals alongside significant vocational commitments takes extraordinary focus. We are deeply proud of their achievements.”
She also paid tribute to the school’s dedicated team: “Our staff are at the heart of these successes. Their commitment to nurturing each student’s potential makes achievements like these possible. I’m incredibly grateful for their unwavering support.”
Among the standout students this year are Daisy, who achieved three A* grades, and the outgoing Lead Prefect, Jehu, whose grades have secured his place at King’s College London to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics.
Many other students are now stepping into exciting new chapters, whether through higher education, vocational training, or directly into professional work. Courses include Acting, Economics, Engineering, Film and Television, History, Illustration and Animation, Journalism, Musical Theatre, Politics, Physiotherapy and Popular Music.
Destinations for students include Exeter University, Guildford School of Acting and Royal Northern College of Music.
Several students are also directly pursuing careers in the performing arts, participating in professional productions across the UK, including The Red Shoes (Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures), English National Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Sarasota Ballet.
Simon Larter-Evans, principal, shares his delight at the students’ successes: “Tring Park is a place where excellence, both academic and artistic, is nurtured. The A Level students’ achievements this year reaffirm the value of this approach, and I’m excited to welcome the next generation of talent this September to continue building on the school’s proud legacy.”
