Students from Hartpury College have achieved outstanding A-level and BTEC results for another consecutive year. Hartpury’s A-level results were higher than the national pass rate with more students achieving top grades than in 2019 - the last time that exams were sat by students due to the pandemic. BTEC Level 3 grades were also announced today with many students achieving high grades.
99.5% of Hartpury A-level students achieved their qualifications, compared to a national average pass rate of 98.4%. This year’s results continue the strong performance by A-level students over the last four years with 79% awarded grades A*to C (up from 74.2% in 2019 when exams were last held).
BTEC students also continued their legacy of impressing performances with 72.9% achieving a high-grade profile, reflecting strong course work and/or exam performance of Distinction level.
These results reflect students studying the college’s 14 A-level subjects including English, Mathematics and Science, as well as BTEC diplomas in agriculture, countryside management, land-based engineering, animal management and science, equine management, and sport.
