James Calvert Spence College (JCSC) students are celebrating today after receiving their A Level and Level 3 results, with every student securing an offer at a destination of their choice or progressing into a career they had hoped to pursue.
Year 13 students at James Calvert Spence College (JCSC), Amble, received their results today, marking an exciting next chapter for a cohort that has been warmly supported and celebrated by the whole school community.
Headteacher, Mr Andriot, praised the hard work and determination of both students and staff, highlighting the wide range of exciting futures now open to the school’s young people:
“Today is a hugely proud moment for our students, their families and the staff who have supported them throughout their time at JCSC. What makes today particularly special is knowing that every one of our Year 13 students has a destination ahead of them that reflects their ambitions – whether that is university, employment or a career they have worked towards.
This is a cohort that is incredibly well loved by our staff and the wider school community. They are individually interesting, talented and, above all, genuinely good people. We are absolutely delighted by what they have achieved and emotional to see them reach this milestone.
It is also fantastic to see the breadth of opportunities our students are taking up this year. Our university destinations stretch well beyond our region, with students heading to York, Leeds, Bath, Sheffield and Chester, as well as Newcastle, Northumbria and Sunderland. The range of subjects they are pursuing is equally exciting, from primary education, mathematics and pharmacy to IT, medicinal chemistry, psychology, sociology, fashion, sport and nutrition, and networking & cyber security.”
We could not be prouder of them. We are excited to see what they achieve in the next chapter of their lives and throughout their adult lives. They leave us with our very best wishes and with the knowledge that they will always be part of the JCSC family.”
Among the outstanding individual achievements is Thea, who achieved an exceptional four A grades in Chemistry, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics. Thea is “very excited” to now head to the University of Leeds to study Mathematics.
Thea’s mum, Lydia, said: “Over the past weeks Thea convinced herself she had failed everything, so we have had extensive talks about what Plan B would look like in that situation! I never doubted her for a minute! We are so proud of her and everything she has achieved.”
Grace is also celebrating fantastic results and is now looking forward to studying Pharmacy at the University of Bath.
There was also huge success among JCSC’s T-Level students, a vocational qualification equivalent to three A Levels.
Paige and Cerys, who studied T Level Education and Early Years, both achieved Distinctions – the highest T-Level grade, broadly equivalent to three A grades at A Level.
Paige is heading to York St John University to study Primary Education with QTS, while Cerys has chosen to defer university for a year.
Liam, who studied the T Level Digital course, discovered a real passion for coding during an enjoyable work experience placement at Alncom. He will now continue developing his skills at Northumbria University, where he will study Cyber Security and Networking.
A number of other students are also celebrating results that will allow them to pursue subjects and careers they are passionate about.
Conn is heading to Northumbria University to study Sport and Nutrition, while Alex will study Psychology at Newcastle University. Will has secured a highly sought-after degree apprenticeship in Marine Engineering.
Daisy will pursue her passion for Fashion at Northumbria University, while Martha is heading to Chester to study Music Journalism.
For Mollie and Katie, their next steps will take them directly into the workplace, having secured full-time employment in catering and childcare respectively.
The achievements of the Year 13 cohort are a source of enormous pride for the entire JCSC community. As students celebrate with their families, staff are looking forward to seeing where their ambitions take them next.
Congratulations to the JCSC Class of 2026 – we are incredibly proud of you and wish you every success for the future!
