CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE FOR PRIOR PARK

25 Aug 2014

Prior Park’s A Level result celebrations have given way to GCSE celebrations today with the class of 2014 raising the threshold of exam results in every statistic bracket. There is much for the students to rejoice about with 54% of all passes being at grade A or better and, further, a quarter of all passes being at the highest A* grade. Most pleasing of all was that 1 in 5 students achieved at least 10 passes at grade A or better. Given the much publicised pegging of grades this year, Prior students can certainly hold their heads high. Stand out performances included 12 A* from Christopher Bunting, 11 A* and 1 A from Lizzie Daniels, 11 A* from Alex Tometzki, with Georgia Fulton, Emma Lyons, Charlotte Robinson, Will Kieser and a number of others following hot on their heels.

Headmaster James Murphy-O’Connor comments: “It is a genuine pleasure to see the reactions of students who are so deserving of these excellent results – not just those who achieve the highest grades, but those who exceed their own expectations. Prior is a busy school and so much is asked of the students in all areas of school life. These excellent grades are therefore testament to a year group that truly understands that making the most of your opportunities, contributing your talents and working hard, ultimately do bring the very best of rewards.”
