GCSE Results

Leweston is celebrating its second set of record GCSE results in three years.  A record 71% of all entries were passed at A* or A, by a wide margin the highest ever achieved by Leweston pupils.   90% of examinations were passed at A*, A or B and an impressive 40% of all candidates achieved 9 or more A or A* grades.  20% of candidates achieved at least 7 A* grades.  Year 11 pupil Sophie Hawkins achieved 10 A* grades and alongside fellow pupil, Siobhan Stewart, got full marks in all three single science papers.   96% of entries were passed at Grade A* to C.

“The hard work and commitment of the girls has been rewarded with overwhelming success.  These results are fantastic and I congratulate all the students as well as the staff for the tremendous support they have given.  We are especially pleased as this is the second week of celebrations; last week Leweston achieved another set of record A Level results.  These achievements pay testimony to the effectiveness of single sex education which underpins the serious work ethos of the school” said Headmaster Adrian Aylward. 

Sue O’Connor, Head of Year 10 and 11 at Leweston commented “I am delighted with what this exceptionally talented group of girls has achieved.  I am sure they will continue to excel as they continue their studies in Leweston’s Sixth Form.”
