College celebrates student university placements after ‘exceptional results’

Joseph Chamberlain College (JCC) is celebrating success stories after many students has landed successful university placements.

The placements come after JCC achieved the best results in their history.

Securing a place on a medical degree is one of the most competitive and challenging paths to pursue, requiring consistently high academic achievement, success in rigorous admissions tests, and strong performance at interviews.

Among this year’s successful medicine applicants is Mashaal Khattak, who achieved a triple A* in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and is now set to study Medicine at the University of Birmingham.

Mashaal said: “My time at JCC has been very memorable - during the last 2 years I have felt supported and heard in every aspect possible.

“The excellent staff and my teachers who always believed in me have made it possible for me to make huge leaps towards my dreams.”

Zinedine Ahmed also attained an astounding triple A* in Further Mathematics, Mathematics, and Physics, and will be undertaking a degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Birmingham.

Zinedine said: “My experience at JCC has been amazing, the teachers are very professional and have given great support throughout my 2 years at JCC. JCC has helped build me into the man I am now.”

This year, JCC’s students achieved:

• 99.2 per cent A-Level Pass Rate
• 60 per cent A*, A, or B Grades
• 85 per cent A*, A, B, or C Grades
• 88 per cent BTEC Level 3 Distinction or Above (FTDs)

These achievements mirror the fact that JCC was, for the second time in a row, rated ‘Outstanding’ in every category by Ofsted at its most recent inspection.

It remains the only Sixth Form College in the West Midlands to hold this distinction, setting it apart as a centre of educational excellence.

Principal, Tony Day, praised this year’s students for their ambition and hard work: “Our students continue to exceed expectations. These results reflect their determination, the support of their families, and the expertise and dedication of our staff.

“We are proud to see so many of our learners progressing to leading universities and exciting career pathways. This success is well deserved.”

JCC is renowned for its supportive, inspiring environment; one where students are supported to thrive both academically and personally.

With modern facilities, expert teaching, and a comprehensive curriculum, the College remains the top choice for aspirational students who want to excel.
