The Peterborough School sees great success in newly reformed A Levels

31 Aug 2017

In what’s been accepted as a testing year nationally for both students and teachers following the reformation of A Levels, The Peterborough School’s results are extremely strong, with a 100% pass rate and 30% of all grades being at A* or A. Additionally, 80% were at A*-C.

As many subjects moved to being ‘linear’ to make them more challenging, almost a fifth (19%) of the students achieved at least three A Levels at A* or A.

Top results came from Jordan Grinyer who will be taking up a place at Oxford to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics after getting his required three A*s and Rohan Khosla whose four A*s in maths, further maths, chemistry and physics gained him a place at Imperial College London to study Computer Science.

Other pupils who gained top grades included Ellen Thompson with A*, A, A and O’Nisa Ali and Faheem Butt who both gained three As,

Headmaster, Adrian Meadows, is delighted that so much change has not adversely affected the students’ outcomes, saying “these results show how well our students have coped with the changes presented to them and I congratulate them on their resilience and hard work.  The teachers deserve huge credit too in dealing with changes to the structure of GCSEs at the same time.  Whilst comparisons with previous years are technically not possible, I am extremely encouraged by our continued high achievements”.
