Thornhill students celebrating after another fantastic year of results

Derry's Thornhill College was celebrating this morning with another year of excellent results.

Approximately 90% of our students achieved three or more A*-C grades or equivalent, with almost 2/3rds achieving three or more A*- B grades or equivalent and an outstanding 38 students achieving all grades at A or A*.

Thornhill College principal Sharon Mallett said: "We are delighted and extremely proud of all our students who have achieved wonderful success in their A level Examinations. 

"These consistently high achieving performances reflect the hard work and dedication of students and teachers and the vital support of parents.

"As a school community, we value academic success however we also emphasise how important it is for each student to grow in resilience, personal responsibility and concern for others.

"These skills and qualities will leave them well placed to make significant contributions to society.

"Many of our students have already confirmed places in either University, Higher Level Apprenticeship pathways or local higher education colleges and we wish all our leavers every blessing in the next stage of their journey."
