Huge thanks to @AndyBurnhamGM who joined students from @StAmbroseColl this afternoon to discuss issues surrounding homelessness. The Q&A session inspired our students and thoughts now turn to how our school community can take positive action. #compassionforthoseinneed

GCSE RESULTS: Well done to pupils from St Ambrose College, where the Attainment 8 score - based on performance across 8 subjects - was 73.53, up from 72.84 last year. Principal Dermot Rainey said: “The students and staff should be rightly proud of these exceptional results."

Many, many beautiful smiles in and around the central atrium this morning. Well done to everyone.

Wishing all students across the country the very best for tomorrow's GCSE results. Welcoming St Ambrose students from 8:30am via the lecture theatre entrance. We're looking forward to seeing you all.

Congratulations to our Year 13 students who are celebrating their A level results today 🎉 We are incredibly proud of you all. Read our press release here: https://t.co/ApMAlglpUM

A LEVEL RESULTS: 40% of the total grades achieved by pupils at St Ambrose College in Hale Barns were A* or A, up 10% on 2023. Four students - George Donne, Joseph Daly, Conor Halpenny and Ben Hartigan - achieved A* in all A-level subjects: @StAmbroseColl

In total, 28 students achieved A*/A across all their A-level subjects, with five students achieving a place to study medicine. Principal Dermot Rainey said: “It has been a really positive morning seeing so many smiles and elated students.”

2/2 I can't think of many benefits for continuing in to July but see several in finishing when GCSE/A levels are done and then starting back earlier given that, for many, the results days mark the end of the holidays anyway.

1/2 I tend to avoid the EduTwitter 'discussions' or any public comment on some controversial issues but I've been fairly vocal on term dates frustrations. I'm at a point now where I don't see any reason for English schools being open in July. Finish in June as happens in NI.

Wishing all our Ambrosian community a happy and restful summer. Key dates: A level results - 15/8/24 GCSE results - 22/8/24 Y7/12 return to school - 4/9/24 Y8/9/10/11/13 return to school - 5/9/24 Read the final newsletter of the academic year here: https://t.co/DlHHeMKZmb

End of term message was 'Go to the well, wherever your well may be'. My well is a particular type of well; The Brandywell, Derry City. Couldn't be happier to have made it in time.

Big thanks to @StAmbroseColl staff, students & families who donated clothing and toiletries to @AsylumLink and to Ann Nichols for collecting them, following our performance of Real People. Donations are still being collected it's never too late! #togetherwithrefugees

An amazing day and thankfully the weather held. Huge thanks to Miss McCrory and all who helped organise. I'm sure my legs will feel fine in the morning.

@stambroseDrama Absolutely blown away by the incredibly powerful perfomance this evening- written and performed by the students to raise awareness of the plight of refugees escaping persecution and seeking refuge @StAmbroseColl #togetherwithrefugees @CaritasDio @AsylumLink

@stambroseDrama @StAmbroseColl @edmundrice_eng @CaritasDio @AsylumLink Mrs Taylor and all the boys have written and produced such an amazing and vital play. It needs to be seen by everyone in the UK. 🥰🙏🏽

Thank you to everyone supporting the Liam O'Connor Memorial Football Match this afternoon. Liam will always be in our thoughts and prayers.

Remembering our Old Boy Liam O’Connor today. Thank you to all who attended.

You really don't want to miss this.

It was a privilege to host given the huge week for politics. Thanks to the candidates for their time & to Ben from CARITAS for helping to coordinate. On Wednesday, it's the turn of the students representing the different parties to take the questions ahead of our mock election.
