Exam Results 2013: Students are delighted

STUDENTS from Yeovil College have spoken of their delight today (Thursday, August 15) at seeing all their hard work come to fruition with great results in their A-Levels.

Beth Davies, 18, of Yeovil, achieved an A* in English Literature, as well as a B grade in English Language, C in History and A for her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

She said: “I really liked having the opportunity to do the EPQ.  I thought it was nice to do something different from my A-Levels.

"My project was on selective breeding in dogs, so it was good to do something science-related alongside my Humanities A-Levels.

“The EPQ was really good, but I’d recommend starting your research in the summer if you can!”

Beth is a former Westfield Academy student and is going to work as a volunteer for a youth residential charity.  The EPQ is offered to all A-Level students at Yeovil College to help them prepare for university and gain additional UCAS points.

Nicola initially trained in Health & Social Care and took AS-Level Biology as a step towards her ultimate goal of becoming a Midwife.  She achieved straight As and will return next year to complete an A Level.

Former Wadham School pupil Owen Edwards studied Sport, Maths and Biology A-Levels at Yeovil College, achieving straight Bs and a place at Loughborough University.

He said: “I’m going to study Sport & Exercise Science with a Gymnastics pathway.  I’m a member of Gryphon West Gym Club and was part of the acrobatics team which made it to the nationals this year.

“We won the silver medal.  I chose to come to Yeovil College because it’s both convenient and good.  I’ve really enjoyed my two years here.”
