WELLINGTON School is celebrating another year of strong A-level results with 70 per cent of grades awarded A*-B and almost 40 per cent awarded A*-A.

Outstanding individual performances by students included five A* grades by Marco Leong and Freddie Renyard’s three A* grades as well as the top grades in his Extended Project and AS Greek.

Nearly a quarter of the year group achieved at least three A*-A grades and almost half achieved at least one A*-A.

In Mathematics, Modern Languages, Religious Studies, Music and Latin, well over 50 per cent of grades were A*-A, with Biology and English not far behind.  

Headmaster Henry Price said: “At the end of two years of significant A-level reform, I am incredibly proud that our pupils continue to do so well in the most challenging range of A-level subjects, as well as achieving significant success in the Extended Project Qualification and Global Perspectives.

“There are so many different nuances to the challenges, successes and disappointments contained in any set of results, and all our pupils deserve praise for their efforts.

“I commend all the pupils for their hard work in our rigorous facilitating subjects and would like to thank their teachers and their families for supporting them during the last few months in particular.”

Mr Price added: “We continue to celebrate academic achievement but recognise that it must be set in the broader context of a rounded education.

“Alongside their efforts in the classroom, this Year 13 have been exceptional contributors to the co-curriculum and have enriched the school with their leadership, warmth and good humour. I have no doubt they will continue to flourish in the future and I wish them all well with all that lies ahead.”
