Carmel College Principal, Mike Hill, was delighted. He commented, “A Level results day is one of the highlights of the college year. The class of 2017 has excelled. This year there has been added tension as it’s the first set of results for the new linear A Levels and many students have received their grades today. However, staff and students have worked very hard over this year to ensure that we continued to achieve the best possible results here at Carmel and we are thrilled. It has been a real privilege to share their success and to have the chance to wish them all the best in the next stage of their lives. I know they will go on to even greater success.”
