Katie Lenton, from Sway, gained A levels in Mathematics (A*), Further Mathematics (A*), Physics: Astrophysics (A*). She has accepted a place at Cardiff University to study Civil Engineering.
Katie said: “I was confident I would do well today but didn’t imagine three A*s. It’s made me even more excited and confident to start at Cardiff in September.
“I’ve had the most amazing time at Brock. As part of my Physics course I was able to visit Cern in Geneva which was a once in a lifetime opportunity. In my first year my teacher encouraged me to apply for an experience with Headstart, where I went to Plymouth to study Engineering for a week. Without that experience I don’t think I would have known I wanted to be an Engineer.”
Isaac Hadfield, from New Milton gained four A levels in Economics (A*), Philosophy (A), Politics (A*), Mathematics (A*). He has accepted a place at Oxford University to study Economics, Philosophy and Politics, and wants to work for an NGO (non-governmental organisation) or the UN. Isaac said: “I feel absolutely amazing today. The high point of my time at Brock has been the debating society, preparing debates and being a part of that community of students. My teachers have been fantastic in preparing me for my Oxford application and giving me the confidence to get where I am today.”
Dean Kuyser, from Marchwood gained A levels in Chemistry (A), Mathematics (A), and Physics: Astrophysics (A).

Dean said: “I’m very pleased with my results, and I’d particularly like to thank my physics teacher who has really helped and inspired me. My best experience here has been having the chance to learn robotics, working together with a group of like-minded people.”
