Leading the celebrations at Westonbirt School today are outgoing Head Girl Kate Willey, from Scotland, and Deputy Head Girl, Ella Morrison from Chippenham, who respectively achieved A*A*A and AAA grades in their A level results this morning.

​Denstone College pupils of 2018 are celebrating some fantastic A Level results yet again. There have been notable successes with 10 pupils attaining 3 or more A* to A grades.

More than half the year group took at least one STEM subject and a high proportion of the cohort have won university places on STEM courses.

August is a nerve-wracking month for Berkshire students with A level and GCSE results days looming. This year especially will be an anxious time for GCSE pupils with over 20 subjects using the 9–1 gradings instead of A*–G, and LVS Ascot Principal Christine Cunniffe is warning that they are set to play a bigger role than before in shaping students’ futures.

​Merchiston is pleased to be awarded The Top Scottish Independent School by A Levels, 2017, by Education Advisors Ltd.

Dr Paul Hodges, Head of Sixth Form at independent all-ability school LVS Ascot in Berkshire, issues useful advice to all students heading into those important GCSE and A level exams.
