Queen's College is today celebrating its best ever A level results! Over 89% of all exams were awarded grades A*-B, and over 57% were graded at A*-A, continuing our strong upward trend of results over recent years.
We are hugely proud of the achievements of this year's leavers and pass on our congratulations to all of them on their phenomenal success. Particular individuals deserve special praise: Freya has achieved A*A*A*, Tiger and Ariane both gained A*A*A, and five further pupils achieved A*AA. Our Oxbridge and medical offer holders have all achieved the grades they needed.
Very well done to all, and huge thanks to the teachers who have supported them tirelessly to achieve this success.

Congratulations to all our pupils and staff on another cracking set of A-level results!
With a stellar 78% A* to B attainment, and over 40% of the year group attaining at least 2 of their 3 A-levels at Grade A or above, this really is a cause for celebration. Other headlines include the news that one in four pupils attained at least AAA or above, whilst one in three gained at least AAB or more.
We are also absolutely delighted that the vast majority of our pupils have secured their offers, including very strong shows for both Oxbridge and the Russell Group universities. This really was a hard-working and committed group of young people (and staff), and we are confident that all our pupils are well-placed to thrive in their next step of education and beyond.
Such achievements are even more impressive when situated in the current educational context that is focusing on how best to ‘rebase the coinage’ of our national qualifications framework.
Whilst we are thrilled with the overall results, we recognise that there is so much more to an outstanding school than examination performance: indeed, as all the educational research indicates, such a performance can be explained in large part by the diverse range of opportunities both inside and outside the classroom that the School provides, in addition to the School’s strong intellectual culture.
So, once more, congratulations to all – pupils, staff and parents - and all the very best for the future!

32% of all grades were at A* or A; 62% at A* to B and 82% at A* to C representing a fantastic achievement in the face of the harder, reformed, linear A levels.
