Caldew School students received their 2025 A Level results today and we are delighted with what our students have achieved.

Vicki Jackson, Headteacher, said, “I would like to congratulate all of our students on achieving excellent results this year. They have worked incredibly hard and have shown a real determination to succeed. We are very proud of them”

“I would also like to thank all the teachers and support staff at Caldew School for their hard work and commitment that has resulted in our students being so successful. I would also like to thank parents and carers who have worked with us in supporting their children. I am very proud to see our Year 13 students progress to the next stage of their lives, whether this be at university, on to an apprenticeship or into the work place. I would like to take this opportunity to wish them every success.

Mr Gaunt, Head of Sixth Form, commented, “It has been a privilege to work with this year group; they were an enthusiastic and hardworking group of students. I wish them every success in the future.”

The vast majority of Caldew School’s students will be able to attend their first choice university, and will study courses including medicine, law, the sciences, mathematics, engineering and the arts at some of the country’s top universities.

Vicki Jackson added, “We are very proud of our Year 13 students and what they have achieved. They have been a wonderful year group who have shown determination, resilience and a great work ethic throughout their time at Caldew School. We will miss them. They fully deserve these excellent results.”
