Results Day Success for Y13
We have had another excellent year of HE applications at Acland Burghley, with over 80% of our students applying via UCAS, plus several other applications to art foundation and other FE/HE courses. We also supported several ex-Acland Burghley students with their applications.
Our students have been accepted on a range of prestigious and exciting courses. Just a few examples of their varied and exciting success:
- Elizabeth Christopher joined us in Y12 and achieved BTEC Performing Arts Double Distinction and Media A level A. She is reading Acting & Performance at LMA

Despite a very challenging year for university applications, our applicants have excelled. Overall, there have been fewer university places available this year, due to a range of factors including very reduced capacity due to covid and an increase in 18 year olds nationally. Despite this, nearly 80% of students were placed at their first choice of university and only 4 students entered Clearing on results day. This is a testament to Acland Burghley’s very strong and confident post-18 advice and our students’ trust in that advice.
We are incredibly proud of all of our students – those going to university and those pursuing apprenticeships, years out, work and other options.
