John Roan flags up some top achievers in this year’s A-level cohort

Sixth Formers at The John Roan School in Greenwich have been celebrating the fruits of their hard work, with the vast majority having secured places at their first-choice universities.

Thursday’s A-level results brought tales of great success for many and among the students celebrating was Milun, who achieved two A*s and an A to secure a place at Robinson College, Cambridge to read geography – and Jake, who obtained four A*s, and will be taking up a place at Imperial College London on their highly sought-after mechanical engineering course.

One talented John Roan artist – Shristi – will be taking up a place at the University of Edinburgh to study animation. This comes after winning a national Art Award earlier this summer as part of United Learning’s Best in Everyone Awards for students and staff across its schools.

Taking a different but equally impressive route is Summer, who will now be joining the University of Bristol to study veterinary medicine.

Cath Smith, Principal at The John Roan School, said: “I am extremely pleased for our Sixth Formers celebrating their results. Our Sixth Form is a particularly cherished and important part of our school community which has developed significantly in recent years.

“It’s wonderful to see the students who are graduating from it, celebrating getting into their first-choice universities to join degree courses that will set them up for successful careers.”
