Exceptional A-Level Results for Leicester High School for Girls
Leicester High School for Girls is celebrating an outstanding set of A-Level results, with 31% of all grades awarded at A* and an impressive 61% at A*–A.
An exceptional 89% of all grades were A*–B, reflecting a hugely successful year for the School's Sixth Form and a significant number of pupils achieving results above their predicted and target grades.
There were also some remarkable individual performances.
The results were particularly impressive across a number of subjects. In Physics, 83% of grades were A*–A, while Further Mathematics achieved an extraordinary 100% A*.
The School is also celebrating the success of pupils who joined Leicester High specifically for Sixth Form. Among these students, an exceptional 78% of grades were A*–A and 90% were A*–B, demonstrating the impact that the School's small classes, individual support and ambitious Sixth Form environment can have.
A parent of one of those pupils, who is now going on to study Medicine in London, said:
“Before she came to Leicester High, she didn’t have particularly high expectations of herself. The school gave her the confidence to believe she could achieve more. She’s also been part of such a lovely, supportive group of girls. Honestly, I don’t think she would have achieved these grades without Leicester High.”
The cohort is now looking ahead to an exciting range of next steps, with pupils progressing to leading universities, courses and other opportunities across the country, including Cambridge, Imperial College London, Loughborough and Leeds.
Headteacher, John Partridge, said:
“We are immensely proud of everything this year’s Sixth Form has achieved. Their A-Level results are exceptional, with over 60% of grades at A*–A and 89% at A*–B, reflecting their hard work, ambition and determination.
But their achievements go far beyond examination results. Throughout their time at Leicester High, they have been encouraged to take opportunities, lead, challenge themselves and develop the confidence to pursue their ambitions without limits.
They leave us as thoughtful, capable and assured young women, exceptionally well prepared for university, employment and the opportunities ahead.
It has been a privilege to see them grow both as individuals and as a cohort, and we wish every one of them the very best for the future.”
The exceptional results mark a year of considerable success for Leicester High School for Girls and underline the strength of its Sixth Form provision, where every girl is known, valued and inspired to achieve her best.
