A Level Results

Aldenham pupils were celebrating this morning as their very good A Level results were allowing them to confirm places at universities across the country. Aldenham pupils will be beginning courses at top universities this autumn including Owen Davis (4 A grades) to study chemistry at Imperial; Andrew Mukerjee (4 A grades) to study Business Management at King's College, London; Chris Snow (3 A grades) to read Finance at Nottingham; Lisa Shin (3 A grades) to read History of Art at Edinburgh. Korean born Lisa was also amongst the top ten who achieved one of the highest overall marks in the GCE Japanese exam this summer. Ten other students gained at least 2 A grades including Yu Yagihashi who will be reading medicine at St Andrews. Others will be beginning courses including Biology, Chemistry, Economics, English, Geography, History, and Psychology at the universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Exeter, Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester.

70% of all 230 A levels sat were graded at A, B or C grade and represent an excellent outcome for students who have contributed greatly to the life of the school over their time here. Headmaster, James Fowler, said: “Results day should be a real chance for our students to celebrate despite the anxiety that inevitably accompanies such a crucial day for the young people involved. I am delighted that today we were able to congratulate so many of our students on their great achievements at A Level.”

In line with around 20 other HMC schools, including Eton and St Paul's, Aldenham this year will not be releasing their results to the media for publication in the series of league tables that appear late in August. The school will still be providing its results to those who have interest in them including current parents (via the parental area of the school website), feeder schools, and prospective parents on application. The school will also be providing the results to the Independent Schools' Council (ISC) who are responsible for the general collection of independent school data and to the DCSF for the government league tables which appear in the late autumn.
