A Level Results 2011

I am delighted with the provisional A level results. The pupils and staff have worked very hard together to ensure real success. In recording 73% A* to B grades the pupils have done extremely well; these results are a reflection of their hard work and enthusiasm. The UCAS points per pupil figure (380) is by some way the highest recorded in the history of the school. Among many strong aspects of these results is the doubling of the A* rate, which shows strong evidence that the ablest pupils are rising to the challenge of performing at the highest level. It was also especially pleasing to see that nearly 50% of the grades were at A* or A grade. Nearly 30% of the year group achieved three A grades or better thus demonstrating the academic strength of the year and is testimony to the strong relationship forged between the teachers and the pupils. A significant number of departments recorded A* to B rates well in excess of 80%. All those who held offers from Oxford and Cambridge achieved their required grades; indeed most pupils will be headed to the university of their choice. We are awaiting the results of a number of enquiries made to the various examination boards; therefore it is likely that these results will improve.

GCSE Results 2011

Academic success is important and therefore I am delighted with these excellent GCSE results; 16 pupils achieved 9 or more A*/A grades with 37 pupils gaining 6 or more A*/A grades.

Both pupils and teachers have worked hard together to achieve these results and combined with the strong A level results it has proved to be a very good year indeed.
