As Year 13 students nationwide prepare to embark on their next exciting chapter following Level 3 studies, the focus for many shifts toward securing their place at university. This critical step hinges on the success of their UCAS applications and subsequent A Level results.
At St Brendan’s we have once again demonstrated our exceptional commitment to our students' futures, successfully supporting over 500 UCAS applicants for entry in September 2025. Our impressive 97% offer rate underscores our dedication to transforming young lives and being a leading provider of academic excellence in Bristol.
25% of all applications submitted by St Brendan’s students were aimed at prestigious Russell Group universities, renowned for their research-intensive education and strong global reputation.
This year, top university choices among students included the University of Bristol, Bristol UWE, and Cardiff University.
To date, St Brendan’s students have received the highest volume of offers received from Bristol UWE, Bath Spa, and the University of Bristol. These outcomes highlight both the ambition of St Brendan’s students and the strength of the college’s supportive and academic environment.
Commitment to transforming lives
Marian Curran, Principal at St Brendan’s Sixth Form College expressed her pride in the students for hard work during the application process:
“We wish every one of our students success, and hope that they secure their first choice in academic and/or vocational pursuits after studying with us. It’s fantastic to see not only the volume of University applications this year, but the calibre of applications and offers that are coming through.
The work our teaching and careers staff have put into supporting students is evident with these results, and our commitment to instilling self-belief and independence into our community of learners is integral to our approach as a Post-16 provider of choice for Bristol."
