St Albans School sixth formers have been awarded a fantastic spread of A level results, with 32 per cent the top A* grade and more than 70 per cent at A* and A.
Nine candidates achieved at least four A* grades and 33 candidates have gained at least three A* grades, one candidate achieved an extraordinary five A* grades, 65 candidates (over one third of the entry) gained at least two A* grades and 94 candidates (over half of the entry) gained at least one A* grade.
Headmaster Jonathan Gillespie said: “Overall these are a superb set of results from a year group that has displayed strong commitment to their academic studies and to our wide-ranging co-curricular programme in equal measure. I offer my warm congratulations to them on their achievements in all areas during their time at the school and, today especially, on the outstanding A level results that many have achieved.
“As every year, A level results’ day brings a mix of emotions: disappointment for some as well as elation for others.
“Whilst celebrating with the latter group, we are providing close support and guidance for those whose plans have unfortunately not come to fruition with the results published today.
“Examinations grades are only a small element of the many holistic benefits of a St Albans School education: our leavers can now step forward into the adult world confident that the learning skills and values they have developed during their time with us will stand them in good stead for the continuation of their learning journey, both at university and in the professional world.
“We wish them every personal happiness and success in the future.”
