Shrewsbury School celebrates outstanding A Level results

Pupils at Shrewsbury school are once again celebrating an outstanding performance in the A Level examination results published today.

56% of all papers were graded at A* or A and over 80% of all grades were at A* to B level, meaning that pupils are now poised to take up places at leading Higher Education institutions.

Eleven pupils managed a clean sweep of A* grades and a total of 60 managed an A* or an A in every subject.

Successes came right across the curriculum – with pupils demonstrating their ability to skilfully combine breadth with excellence across all disciplines.

Headmaster Mark Turner commented, “We are delighted that our pupils have been rewarded for their effort and industry and that they are now equipped not only with the grades that they need to access and thrive in the next step on their academic journey, but also with the enthusiasm for learning and open-mindedness that will prepare them for successful and fulfilled futures.

"It is especially pleasing to note that these pupils have often achieved these outstanding grades at the same time as participating in a broad, dynamic and challenging co-curricular programme and of course in the context of an incredibly busy full boarding school. We wish every one of them all the best as they enter the next phase of their education.”
