STUDENTS celebrate results as Queen Anne’s School in Caversham announces more than four in five grades were B or above on Thursday, August 18.
It says that 81% of grades awarded were B or higher, and 96% were C or above.
Of those taking STEM subjects, 94% of exam grades were given C or above.
Head of Queen Anne’s, Elaine Purves, said: “I am thrilled to celebrate the success of these young students today and so proud of my first QAS A Level cohort.
“I would like to congratulate the girls not only on their outstanding academic grades but on their achievements outside of the classroom, whether that’s on the sports pitches, in the concert hall or in giving back to the community.”Since joining Queen Anne’s in January, I have been struck by the confidence and energy of the Upper Sixth students– they truly are leaving us prepared for their next steps into the world.”
Senior Deputy Head, Mark Richards, said: “It’s phenomenal to think that these students undertook a significant proportion of their A Level studies in a remote setting.
“Queen Anne’s was ahead of the game as a Microsoft Showcase School and ensured delivery of the entire curriculum and more.
“This, combined with the impressive commitment and enthusiasm of the cohort, meant that when pupils eagerly returned to normal school life they continued to excel academically,”
Head Girl and Dance Captain, Sophie Bailey, was among the students achieving only A or A* grades, with Sophie achieved A*s in Art and Biology and an A in Chemistry and will go on to study Natural Sciences at Bath.
Queen Anne’s also announced that students would be moving onto a number of prestigious further education insitutions, with the cohort securing places at Oxford, King’s College, London, Princeton University, and Parsons Fine Arts in New York.
Director of Sixth Form, Ben Stephenson, said: “This year group show a fantastic sense of community and are passionate about making a change in the world.
“They were instrumental in launching the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Society and have worked tirelessly on numerous charity fundraisers,”.
