Callywith College's A Level and Extended Diploma students are celebrating as they secure progression opportunities.
The 215 A Level students receiving results at the College, Bodmin have collectively secured a 99.4% pass rate, with 72% of entries being awarded A*-B grades; 10% higher than national averages for 2022.
Students studying Level 3 Extended Diploma and Diploma courses have also achieved excellent results. With 106 (43%) of the College’s cohort of 245 students passing, with the top distinction grades or higher.
Callywith College Principal Jon Grey said: “Amongst all the coverage of government’s demands to clamp down on grade inflation following the cancellation of exams over the previous two years due to Covid – that is certainly not the case for the students of Callywith College.

Results obtained this year have far exceeded the exceptional results achieved by our last cohort of examined students in 2019 ahead of our outstanding Ofsted rating in 2020."
“The vast majority of our university applicants have successfully gained entry to their first-choice institutions. Across the College, we have so many great success stories and I’d like to congratulate all of our students on what they have achieved and urge them to keep in touch with the College to let us know how their next steps into employment, and apprenticeship or university are going.”

Callywith has been an excellent stepping-stone for me between school and university. It is a great environment to learn in."
Amelia Wilson, who previously attended Bodmin College has achieved A, B, and C in Geology, Geography, and Environmental Science A Levels. Amelia, who has been offered a place to study Geology at Royal Holloway of London, said: “I am very happy with my results as I had glandular fever when I did my exams and expected much worse.
“I had a great experience at Callywith. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The facilities are amazing, all the staff are so supportive, and it’s such a lovely place to learn. They have also supported my Aspergers so well I’ve never felt disadvantaged at all.”
Liddy, who is going on to study Adult Nursing at Plymouth University, said: “I am super pleased with my results and proud of myself. My experience at Callywith was amazing. I made so many great friends and had such supportive lecturers who were always there to answer any questions or concerns. It is so much more different to school – you are treated as young adults.”
