We have continued to see students excel at our outstanding Sixth Form this year with 100% of students passing their post-16 studies. More than three quarters of students achieved grades A*-C in their final GCE exams this Summer and nearly half of students secured the top grades of A*-B. There was particular success in History, where our students achieved well above national averages at all measures. We saw equally strong results in our L3 qualifications, where 100% of students achieved Merits or above in all areas; this was once again well above national averages. As a result of these, and many other, exceptional performances, our strong tradition of Cardinal Pole alumni attending some of the best universities in the country and abroad has continued with a third of students securing places at Russell Group universities, including Cambridge University, King’s College London, UCL and the University of Warwick.
Year 10
"I would say Cardinal Pole is a fair and equal school because of how people are treated and the activities we do to celebrate other people's culture. At Cardinal Pole, you meet multiple people and engage with them."
Year 10
"My favourite thing about Cardinal Pole is how many teachers are interactive with students. Also, teachers try to make lessons fun and the school offers a variety of after-school clubs."
Former Year 13
“The job market these days is so saturated and our future careers can be a worry for students my age as it can feel like it’ll be impossible to progress and stand out. But at Cardinal Pole our Sixth Form Team and careers advisor gives us endless opportunities to apply our strengths and interests through taster sessions and work experience with a range of companies. We also get lots of support and advice when it comes to applying for universities or apprenticeships. It’s essential to have lots of options available to you and Cardinal Pole has easily given me that reassurance!”
