Cranleigh School reports excellent A-level results

Cranleigh School is pleased to report another year of excellent A-level results, with 17 per cent of students achieving the top A* grade, 46 per cent of grades at A*-A, 80 per cent of grades at A*-B and an overall pass rate of 100 per cent.

This cohort were impacted at GCSE level by ongoing issues surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. They performed extremely well, at A-level, with 44 per cent of students gaining A*/A in two or more subjects, and over two-thirds of the cohort achieving all A*-B.

Mr David Boggitt, Cranleigh’s Deputy Head Academic, said: “Despite the return to pre-pandemic grading and the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this cohort have performed superbly well. They committed themselves to their studies and supported each other brilliantly. We wish them them the very best in their future plans.”

Earlier in the year Cranleigh announced another excellent set of Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Most Sixth Formers at Cranleigh take an EPQ alongside studying for three A-levels. The qualification asks students to undertake a longer piece of research culminating in a dissertation style essay or the production of an artefact. It’s now widely used as a preparation for university learning by schools and sixth form centres across the country. This year’s results were outstanding, with 52 per cent of pupils gaining A*/A and 78 per cent of all EPQs graded at A*-B.

The students who collected their results today are already focusing on their futures and most have had their university places confirmed.
