I am really pleased with the A’ Level results this year. These are very good results, particularly the top grades where we achieved 36%, with more than 62% gaining A* to C grades. The overall pass rate remains in excess of 92%. With a background of more change in education, pupils have successfully made the leap from the older GCSE’s to the new, more rigorous A’ Levels, and these results are a testament to the pupils’ hard work, and the dedication and resilience of the teaching staff and parents. These results will provide and excellent springboard for their university careers, where well over 50 % of pupils gained a place at their first-choice university, with one pupil, Elvira Baranova taking up her place at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris to read Modern Foreign Languages.
