A Level Success for Sherborne Boys
Sherborne Boys is proud to celebrate another year of strong academic achievement as the Upper Sixth receive their A Level and BTEC results today. With 1 in 3 of all A Level entries graded A*/A, and 15% of the cohort achieving three or more grades at A*/A, the boys have once again demonstrated the depth of talent across the year group. Boys taking B/CTEC qualifications also excelled, with 78% awarded Distinction* or Distinction across subjects including Media, Sport and Enterprise and Entrepreneurship.
We are delighted that of those pupils applying, 80% have secured places at their chosen universities, including Oxford, Durham, LSE, Manchester, Warwick, Edinburgh, Exeter, Newcastle, Cardiff, Bath and Kings College London, as well as conservatoires and other specialist institutions including the Courtauld.
Boys will be reading a wide range of inspiring and challenging courses including Law, History, Maths, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Languages, Economics, Business and Finance amongst others, while some are pursuing excellent alternative routes, including overseas universities.
Headmaster, Simon Heard, commented:
These results are testament to the hard work and sustained effort of the boys and the professionalism and commitment of their teachers. All this alongside an extraordinary array of other curricular and co-curricular activities mean our boys head into the world as rounded young men. They should be very proud of their achievements, as we are of them. Our thanks go to parents for their unwavering support and to our staff for their dedication in helping the boys achieve their full potential. We would also like to extend our congratulations to our colleagues and pupils at Sherborne Girls on their excellent results this summer.
