We are proud of our strong academic reputation; Oundelians have a natural love of learning and are ambitious in their approach to scholastic opportunity. Success in public examinations forms the basis of our examined curriculum but is only part of our academic approach.
We are delighted to recognise the outstanding achievements of this year’s examination cohorts.
At (I)GCSE, 31% of all grades awarded were grade 9, 58% were 9 or 8, while 78% were graded 9 – 7. The most common grade was grade 9, with the average being 7.6. Remarkably, seven pupils achieved straight grade 9s, 22 pupils achieved straight grade 9s and 8s, while a further 41 pupils achieved straight grades 9 – 7. These results break a number of pre- and post-pandemic records and are testament to the tremendous progress made by this cohort.
At A level, pupils also achieved excellent outcomes. Overall, 21% of all grades awarded were A* and 61% A*-A. The cohort also maintained the School’s consistently high results at the A*-B measure, narrowly missing the School’s record with 88%. Fifteen pupils achieved a minimum of three A* grades, while 70 pupils achieved straight A*/A grades. The vast majority successfully confirmed places at one of their chosen universities, going on to study a wide array of degree subjects at prestigious institutions in the UK and overseas, including Oxford and Cambridge and a breadth of competitive courses across the Russell Group.
