EXAM RESULTS 2016
Another year of outstanding achievement for both academic and vocational students at this high-achieving mixed comprehensive school.
Over 230 students took A2 or BTEC exams at Thomas Tallis in 2016, slightly up on 2015.
20% of A-level students obtained A*/A grades, and 50% achieved A*-B grades. 77% of BTEC students obtained D* grades or better.
Tallis BTEC students did superbly: 11 achieved D*D*D* (or better!)
There were many astonishing individual performances: Ben Tu (A*A*A - Maths with Statistics at Imperial College), Maeve Thomas (A*AA - Sociology at Leeds), Sian Newlove-Drew (A*A*AA - Art Foundation at Camberwell), Brandon Kalsi (D*D*D* - Essex for Sports and Exercise Science), Tal Drozdovsky (AAA - Biomedical Sciences at King’s), Branwen Onono (AAA - History at Birmingham), Joe Powley (A*AA - Classics at Edinburgh), Priyanka Acharaya (A*AAA - Chemical Engineering at Bath), Ben Edgar (D*D*D* - UEA for Business), Anisha Namuli (D*D*D* - Occupational Therapy at Brunel).
Our musicians have done very well. Emily James is going to Leeds University and Jane Hammond is off to study at the Royal College of Music.
Over 190 Tallis students are progressing to higher education with very many going to Russell Group, top ten and specialist universities such as the LSE, SOAS, King’s, UCL, Sheffield, Manchester, Warwick, Bath and Surrey. 35 students are taking up places at prestigious art colleges, including Camberwell, LCC, St Martin’s and Ravensbourne.

Head, Carolyn Roberts commented:
Like the rest of the school, our sixth form is an exciting and happy place. Our focus on learning through inquisitiveness, persistence, collaboration, discipline and imagination as well as their experience in a large comprehensive school gives our students an added advantage as they embark on the next stage in their lives. They leave us rounded and grounded, ready to change the world for the better.
