Medical students have ‘stars in their eyes’ in Dinnington

Both Molly Sadler and Alex Summerbell are heading off to study medicine after achieving the grades they needed.

Molly scored an A* in biology and As in mathematics and chemistry and is off to Newcastle University, while Alex Summerbell notched up A* in mathematics and As in biology and chemistry and is preparing for life at the University of Sheffield.

David Barringer and Ryan Forrester, meanwhile, picked up identical results —  an A* in mathematics and As in further maths and physics. 

David will study computer science at Warwick University and Ryan has secured a place to study aerospace engineering at Sheffield.

The school’s pass rate for all Level 3 qualifications was 99 per cent, with 82 per cent of students achieving grades A* to C. 

Joe Morley, from the school, said: “Huge congratulations were exchanged between pupils and staff with a real sense of joy surrounding the school.  

“All the staff were thrilled to see the students getting the grades they deserve and seeing all their hard work has paid off.”
