Thousands of students from the largest college in the county, Sussex Downs College, were jumping for joy after receiving their A level results. The college staff celebrated another successful year with their learners as they have achieved an overall pass rate of well over 97%, with around 74% achieving A-C grades.
Students studying courses ranging from accounting to sociology, law to performing arts converged on the college’s East Sussex campuses in nervous anticipation of their results on Thursday August 20. With more than 3,000 A level entries this summer, the college had the highest number of students taking A levels in the South East region.
Sussex Downs College incorporates Park College in Eastbourne and Lewes 6th Form, which between them offer more than 200 A Level courses to young people across the county.
