Coleg Sir Gâr’s Sir Gâr 6 team of A-level staff has been awarded the Alps Diamond Award, which puts the college in the top 1% of performing schools and colleges for A-levels in England and Wales.
The ALPS Diamond Award is a prestigious educational recognition given by Alps Education to secondary schools and colleges whose student progress and ‘value-added’ performance rank in the top 1%.
This means that the student’s whole journey is tracked, not just their results, but their targeted and predicted grades and the progress they made since starting college.
Coleg Sir Gâr achieved the Gold Award in December last year and the teaching team are thrilled at being awarded the very top recognition for their commitment and dedication to students reaching their very best potential.
The awards system ranks as follows:
- Diamond Award: Top 1% (Exceptional Progress)
- Platinum Award: Top 10%
- Gold Award: Top 25%
Angharad Mansfield, Head of Sir Gar 6 (A Levels) and Lifelong Learning at Coleg Sir Gâr said:
“This is a real testament to our hardworking students and staff.
“To be in the top performing 1% for AS levels is a remarkable achievement.
“When students come to study A-Levels with us at Coleg Sir Gar, they are supported in fulfilling their potential and totally surpassing expectations.”
“I felt there was a sense of community at Coleg sir Gâr. Whilst at college, I had loads of support with how to make a competitive application and what super curricular activities would benefit me my personal statement and my interview, which made me feel very secure in the process.”
