So, thinking about A Levels when you leave school, or maybe thinking A Levels might be a great option for your son or daughter?
If you just answered yes to that question, we'd like to introduce you to our East Durham Sixth Form, also known as ED6!
There are many, many reasons why you should choose us to come and study A Levels, but let's kick off with the biggest, shall we?
Great Pass Rates. Great Grades.
For the past nine years, ED6 students studying 3 A-levels or more have achieved a 99-100% pass rate on their exams.
- We are the region's best-performing sixth form centre, with our students achieving a 99-100% pass rate on their exams for the past 9 years (2016 to 2024, students taking 3 or more A-levels), 100% in 2024.
- In 2023, a massive 22.4% of our students' grades were A*-A grades, 37.2% were A*-B grades and 57.9 were A*-C grades.
We're really, really proud of our pass rates. Our students work very hard with fantastic support from our amazing ED6 lecturers, and that's why they've been able to do so well with us.
Great University Destinations
The list of universities that ED6 students have recently progressed to is impressive, to say the least. It includes prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Imperial College London and Newcastle.
