A Level and GCSE Success for Ryde School

Ryde School has had a very exciting week and we are very proud of all our pupils who received their A Level, IB and GCSE results this summer. A Level and GCSE top results were the highest Ryde School has seen since before the pandemic.

A Levels. Despite the national backdrop of fewer top grades, 16.3% of grades were A*s which is the highest achievement at this level since 2014 (excluding Covid-adjusted years). Additionally, an impressive 37% of grades were A*- A, which is the second highest achievement since 2014. There was also a 100% pass rate across the cohort. Furthermore, the IB grades were strong with an average score of 32.18, above the global average and the highest individual score of 43 points. The IB Careers-related Programme grades were particularly impressive with half of pupils achieving a distinction or better in the BTEC part of their programme. These are fantastic results, with nearly all students who sat A Levels leaving with a university place. The average UCAS points across the cohort was 145.23.

GCSEs. A brilliant 41% of all grades were at a 9, 8 or 7 which represents the best results the School has achieved at this level since the 9 -1 grading system was fully introduced (excluding covid adjusted years), 89% of grades were at 9 to 4. This is particularly notable given a national trend of fewer top GCSE grades. Head Master Will Turner commented, “Ryde School pupils can be very proud of the grades they have received. These excellent results are a reflection of their ambition and hard work over the past two years. I would also like to thank their teachers for guiding and supporting them so well throughout their GCSE courses. We are all delighted to see such strong results today following on from the impressive A Level and IB results last week."

We are so proud of how hard our students have worked over the last two years and wish them all good luck on their new adventures.
