Students celebrate excellent exam results

Key Stages 4 and 5 students have reason to celebrate after receiving excellent results in their A level, AS level and iGCSE exams.

Two-thirds of St George’s A level examinations in 2023-2024 received the highest possible gradings of A* or A. Ninety-seven percent of examinations were graded A* to C. The results have earned the graduating students of 2024 offers at their preferred universities.

A level examinations are the culmination of the final two years of secondary schooling, known as Key Stage 5 or Sixth Form, covering Years 12 and 13 under the British national curriculum. Students in their penultimate year of school sit AS level examinations, while students in Year 11 complete iGCSE exams for entry into A level courses.

St George’s Secondary Headteacher Claire Simmonds said the results in all three exam levels were recognition of the hard work and dedication by the students and their teachers. “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the examination classes of 2024. Your achievements are a true testament to your hard work, determination and perseverance. I also want to express my deep gratitude to our dedicated staff, whose guidance and support have been instrumental in our students' success."

Director of Key Stage 5, Sarah Roe, said the students showed maturity and commitment to their studies. “We are incredibly impressed with how our students have supported one another throughout Key Stage 5. They should be proud of their achievements and I am delighted that our Year 13 students are able to move on to their preferred destinations thanks to the excellent grades they have earned.”

The graduating students have received offers at top universities across Europe, the UK, US and Australia, including Cambridge and Oxford, several Russell Group universities, AMDA New York and ETH Zurich, to name a few.

St George’s Principal Zeba Clarke added: "It is a huge pleasure to congratulate our students and staff on these results. They reflect perseverance, determination and commitment, and a spirit of collaboration that embodies the best of St George’s. It is terrific to see our Year 13 students secure exciting opportunities for their future. I am sure they will be an inspiration to their peers in Key Stages 4 and 5.”
