In Pictures: St Ronan’s Lurgan celebrate A Level success

Top A2 grades 3A-A

St Ronan’s College in Lurgan has congratulated their Class of 2023 students on their outstanding A Level results.

Mrs Fiona Kane, Principal, said: “I sincerely wish to congratulate all of our Sixth Form students who have received results this summer. This year group’s progress from GCSE to A Level has been an extremely challenging journey for them to navigate with Centre Determined Grades, Centre Assessed Grades and syllabus unit changes, all due to the management of the Covid-19 pandemic and as a group of young people, they have bourne the experience extremely well.

“I am so very proud of their can-do attitude, resilience and positive mindset. Our pupils have demonstrated sheer determination to achieve these outstanding A Level results and I am extremely proud of every one of them.

“Our pupils remained focused on their goals and have worked extremely hard. That hard work I am delighted to say has all paid off. It is wonderful and emotional to see the wide smiles and tears of joy on their faces and on the faces of their parents, teachers and friends.

“We already have well over 100 Year 14 students placed in their preferred university course on Results day, with a further number going through clearing, whom we expect will be placed in the next few days.

“In addition, we have pupils who are pursuing Higher Level Apprenticeships in a range of prestigious companies, some have chosen to take a year out to work and/or travel and others are pursuing further education or employment. The range of courses and destinations is something of which we can be very proud at St Ronan’s College and demonstrates the multiple pathways open to our young people – from Medicine to Veterinary Science, Mechatronic, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Games Design, Microbiology, Law, Screen Production, Pharmacy, Film and Theatre Making, Paramedic Science, Teaching, Finance and Investment and Sport, Exercise and Nutrition to name a few!

“It is wonderful as a non-selective Grammar school and an all-ability College to see the varied destinations, endless possibilities and countless opportunities that lie ahead for our young people.
