We are delighted to recognise the excellent achievements of both our A level and (I)GCSE pupils, with impressive results across this year’s public examinations.
At A level, the 2024 cohort has set a new benchmark of success. An impressive 28% of all grades awarded were A* or equivalent, with 66% at A*-A and 88% at A*-B. Notably, six pupils achieved four A* grades, while a further twenty-two earned a minimum of three A* grades. Overall, more than two-thirds of all grades were either A* or A, with 44% of pupils achieving straight A*/A grades. These results have enabled the vast majority of pupils to secure places at their chosen universities, including seventeen who have been accepted to Oxford and Cambridge.
At (I)GCSE 30% of all grades awarded were grade 9, with 53% achieving either a grade 9 or 8 and 74% graded at 9-7. Remarkably, as with last year, grade 9 was the most common grade achieved by Oundle pupils, with the average grade standing at 7.4. There were some standout individual performances, with eleven pupils achieving eleven straight grade 9s, amassing a total of 121 top grades and a further eighteen pupils attaining straight grade 9s and 8s. An additional forty pupils achieved straight grades 9-7.
Sarah Kerr-Dineen commented: “I am immensely proud of the achievements of both our A Level and (I)GCSE pupils this year. These results reflect their hard work and enthusiasm for learning alongside the unwavering dedication of our outstanding staff. Our pupils have demonstrated not only academic excellence but also a deep commitment to the wider life of the School. I am confident they will continue to thrive as they move on to the next stage of their education and we look forward to seeing all that they will accomplish in the future.”
