Students at the college received their results in Stevenage this morning with 71 per cent achieving A* to C grades and the majority of students gaining a place at their first choice university.

There was also a 100% success rate at AS Level with 80% of students achieving A* - C grades.

Riobhne Clohessy said: “I’m shocked by the A* in sociology, I put the work in so I don’t know why but I didn’t think I’d get an A*, and I’ve got into Middlesex, my first choice university, to study journalism and creative writing. I decided to study A-levels because I did really well and better than I expected in my GCSEs, and I came to the college because I wanted a more mature environment to study in.”

Also celebrating were Pebbles Buckley with AABB and James Norman with ABBC.

Pebbles said: “I’m really happy I didn’t think I’d done that well. I’m taking a gap year now to travel and then I’m planning to study Criminology and Law next September.”

James said: “I’m thrilled, I’m going to the University of Kent to study Ancient History which I’m really looking forward to.”

NHC principal Signe Sutherland said: “I am extremely proud of our students for achieving such a fantastic set of results; it is testament to the hard work put in by both the students and members of NHC staff.

“We’re also pleased to be joining both The Da Vinci Studio School and The Thomas Alleyne Academy in celebrating a great set of results across the Renaissance group. A special congratulations goes to those students who have achieved the A* grades as well as the Da Vinci Studio School students who have achieved triple distinction grades in their BTEC qualifications, securing some prestigious university places.”
