Sixth Form pupils celebrate excellent A2 and AS results

The Royal School Dungannon’s Sixth Form pupils achieved excellent A Level results in this summer’s examinations with 3 out of 4 grades awarded at the top grades of A*, A or B and an average UCAS points return per pupil of 319 (the equivalent of 1 A and 2 Bs). The overall pass rate was 100% across all subjects.

22 pupils out of a cohort of 77 secured at least 3 A* or A grades. Mathew Mylroi Lamont led the way, returning 3 A* grades; Aaron Graham scored 2 A* grades, 1 A grade and 1 B grade; and Polo Chiu scored 1 A* grade, 3 A grades and 1 B grade. Timmy Davidson, Grace Doran, Megan Forster, Matthew Maguire, Saffron McKinney, Jennifer McLean, Kerry McMullan, Lauren Plunkett and Adam Smith all returned 2 A* grades plus 1 A grade. Natalie Graham-Mulgrew, Lareyna McMenemy, Adam Patterson, Joshua Patton and Sophie Shannon each achieved 1 A* grade plus 2 A grades. Geoffrey Cheng, Sarah Maxwell, Kira McCammon, Sophie Patterson and Lucy Steenson completed the line up with at least 3 A grades each. In addition, 11 other pupils achieved at least 2 A* or A grades and 1 B grade: Suzanne Bell, Brian Cheung, Emily Elliott-Murphy, Nadine Graham-Mulgrew, Andrew Irvine, Lauren Hudson, Reuben Morrow, Julie Orr, Callum Parke, Matthew Smyth and Matthew Winning.

At AS Level a large number of RSD pupils established an impressive platform for A Level success next year, with 62% of grades at A or B grade. 15 pupils returned at least three A grades in their chosen subjects. Ian Chow, Angel To and Ryan Wong each scored an amazing 5 A grades; and Adam Irwin, Rachel Millar, Cameron Mullan, Ben Nicholl, Rebecca Shaw, Andy Yu and Hayson Yung all achieved 4 A grades. Faye Acheson, Leah Doran, Carly Douglas, Andrew Graham, Jessica Hadden, Joel Stewart and Polly Swaile all returned at least 3 A grades. A further 8 pupils achieved at least 2 A grades and 1 B grade.

The Headmaster, Dr David Burnett, put the results down to, “the way in which pupils, teachers and parents work together.” He said that, “The pupils work terrifically hard in lessons and at home and they can be really proud of their results. They are the richly deserved outcomes for all the hard work, dedication and talent the pupils display week in and week out and our Sixth Formers deserve nothing but credit. The support they have received from their teachers and from parents has helped enormously, encouraging and guiding pupils along the way, and this too has been a crucial factor in the pupils’ success. I would wish to pass on my thanks to all my teaching colleagues and to RSD parents for the support they have given to pupils throughout the year.”
