EMS6 beats North East average with strong A-Level results!

The English Martyrs Sixth Form College (EMS6) is celebrating after both improving its year-on-year A-level performance and beating the North East average.

Students sitting their A-levels at The English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College achieved 23.4 per cent at A or A* – up from 20.9 per cent in 2024. This exceeds the 2025 regional average of 22.9 per cent, which leaves the North East ranking lowest nationally this year.

Among those collecting top grades at the Bishop Hogarth Catholic Education Trust college was Caitlyn Hall, who attained A* in Psychology, and As in Chemistry and Biology.

Leah Henderson, Head of Sixth Form at English Martyrs, said: “We’re delighted to not only go from strength to strength by building on our results from last year, but to have also beaten the North East average for A and A* grades.

“This is entirely down to the hard work the students have put in, and the unwavering commitment of our staff team. These results are a credit to them.

“We are incredibly proud of just how many students are going on to study so many different subjects, including Law, Maths, Midwifery, Journalism, and more.

“They’re going all over the country. They have bright futures ahead them, and we wish them all the best.”
