We are delighted to report another excellent set of IGCSE examination results, including the results from the first cohort of students on the College’s 1 Year IGCSE Programme. Overall, students enrolled on both the 1 Year IGCSE Programme and Upper College Programme performed well. 90% of grades for this cohort were between A* to C, and 51% of grades were either A* or A, up from 40% in 2016. For the 1 Year IGCSE Programme, 55% of grades were A* or A.
In addition to securing excellent examination results, students on the 1 Year IGCSE Programme (who sat IGCSEs in up to 9 subjects) have secured entry to some of the UK’s best boarding schools, including Bradfield College, Charterhouse and Cheltenham Ladies College.
Commenting on the results, Lorraine Atkins, Principal said: “I am delighted that our students have achieved such excellent results. Their hard work and determination has been exemplary and the results are particularly outstanding as they are studying in a second language.”
Chris Lewis, Director of Studies added: “All of the teachers are very proud of these results. This year we have seen another increase in the number of A* and A grades, showing that our students are continuing to work hard to ensure success, not just in these exams, but also for their future academic careers.”
We would like to congratulate all students on their examination results and wish them well as they continue their studies in the sixth form at boarding schools across the UK.
