100% Pass rate and superb individual achievements
The Headmaster writes:
“A record pass rate of 100%, with an A-C rate of 87%, reflects the overall quality of our students’ performance and has opened the way to first choice universities. However, there are also many phenomenal individual achievements. 30% of this year group of 84 achieved 3 or more A grades and all in challenging academic subjects. Seven have secured their places at Oxford or Cambridge and seven are off to Medical School.
Mark Rodrigues achieved the extraordinary distinction of scoring one of the top five marks nationally in three out of his four A level subjects – Biology, Chemistry and Geography – and is now going to Edinburgh University to read Medicine.
Ben Jones achieved 4 A grades, plus two distinctions and a merit in the challenging new Advanced Extension Awards; Ben has a place to read Economics at Christ’s College, Cambridge.
Two of the girls who joined the School two years ago for its co-educational Sixth Form achieved all A grades: Anne Dickson is off to Durham University to read Mathematics and Catherine Manning will be reading Natural Sciences at Cambridge.
The academic success of our pupils is all the more impressive when one considers the wide range of other responsibilities and extra-curricular activities to which they commit themselves at School. Congratulations both to them and to their teachers for their dedication and hard-work.”
