Maricourt Catholic High School Sixth Form students celebrate top results
It was a day of great celebration for the students of Maricourt Catholic High School Sixth Form Centre as they once again achieved top grades, enabling them to realise their dreams of studying at university and embarking on higher-level apprenticeships.
Academic success
The maths department started the ball rolling with Harry Moore gaining an A* and an A in maths and further maths, securing his place to study aerospace engineering at the University of Liverpool.
Amber Paterson also achieved an A* in history and will continue her passion for the subject at the University of Liverpool, where she will study ancient history. Her extended project qualification explored the Roman Empire, bringing a strong historical theme to her sixth form studies.
Twins April and Isobel Daly both secured Distinction*s in business studies as well as strong A and B grades in their other subjects. They will also be attending the University of Liverpool to study psychology and evolutionary anthropology.
Creative pathways
Several students will be pursuing creative arts courses. Alex Quigg is heading to the University of Sunderland to study illustration and design, while Zofia Witan will stay closer to home to study theatre and production technology at LIPA.
Apprenticeship achievements
A number of students are beginning higher apprenticeships in diverse careers. Luke Curnyn will join the NHS as an electrical engineer, Mia Scott will also enter the NHS in accounting, and Eleanor Curtis has secured a place with Barclays in its IT department.
Vocational success
Vocational subjects once again delivered excellent outcomes, with students in business, sport and health and social care achieving a strong set of Distinction* and Distinction grades.
Both academic and vocational courses contributed to an overall upward trend in results for the sixth form.
Congratulations to all Maricourt students – the school looks forward to following their future successes in the months and years ahead.
