Hard work pays off for Ballyclare High School pupils after fantastic A-Level results

Year 14 pupils are stepping into their next chapter with confidence, with 93 percent of all A-Level grades awarded at A*-C and 75 percent at A*-B.

There were also many individual achievements to celebrate across the year group. Lily McKeeman achieved straight A* grades, while Holly Collins achieved four A*/A grades. In all, a total of 49 pupils achieved two or more A*/A grades, representing over a third of the year group.

The school’s commitment to developing lifelong learners in a caring, creative community remains at the heart of its approach, equipping pupils with the knowledge, skills and confidence to embrace their future.

Principal, Dr Michelle Rainey commented: “[Results day] is about celebrating the individual achievements of our pupils. Every result represents an investment of hard work, perseverance and ambition, and I am incredibly proud of the way our pupils have supported one another throughout their Sixth Form journey. Their learning has been underpinned by the expertise, encouragement and dedication of our staff, and we are also extremely grateful to the families who have supported our pupils along the way.

“For some, [this] marks the beginning of university life; for others, it’s the start of another exciting pathway for which they are well prepared. Whatever their next step, we wish each and every one success for the future, and we look forward to seeing all that they go on to achieve as Ballyclare High Alumni.”
