Exam Results 2009

2009 produced another ‘best-ever’ year for A and AS level results. There were outstanding performances at both A level (6a – year 13) and AS (6b - year 12). 38 pupils acquired at least four A grades, with seven (Christian Allen, Fred Carter, Nick Crawford, Ian Levy, Emiliano Lewis, Francesca Mosely and Hannah Stuart) getting five A grades and 800 UCAS points, and one (Camelia Tang) getting six A grades. Chris Barry accumulated 760 UCAS points. 

At AS level (6b – year 12), where the grades are not certificated at this stage, 24 out of 167 candidates scored over 90% of the marks available.

In addition, this was the best ever points score per subject: 110.1; and the best ever A/B percentage score: 88.7. The average UCAS score per person was 425, slightly below last year's 431, but it will probably rise after re-marks. 

This year’s GCSE and IGCSE results were not quite last year’s bumper crop, but they largely fall in line with previous years. There were some outstanding individual performances with the following candidates achieving 100% A*s: Catriona Cash (13), Nikhil Jain (11), and  Hannah Benton, Joseph Bondatti and Alexandra Bunting (10).

Catriona Casha’s successes were in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, English Language, English Literature, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Music, Geography and Religious Studies. No ‘easy’ subjects here: a quite remarkable achievement.

Overall, 33% of grades were A*s and 72% were A*-A grade.  16 candidates (12%) gained 8 A*s or more. 99% of candidates gained 5 A*-C grades.
