We are beyond thrilled to be celebrating a record number of A* grades this year, including the largest number to date of pupils achieving three A* grades – a testament to the academic excellence for which we are known. This impressive achievement means that the majority of our pupils will take up places at their first-choice universities.
This year’s A Level results mark a new high for us, with A* grades soaring to 28%, almost double last year’s figure of 15%. More than half of all grades (52%) were at A*–A, and an outstanding 80% achieved A*–B. Congratulations to our hard-working pupils and teachers!
