We work hard to provide girls with the very highest quality of academic tuition needed to fulfill their potential and achieve their best results. Girls are supported and encouraged to turn their aspirations for the future into reality and it is always the personal triumphs and individual achievements of the girls that give most pleasure. However, the statistics provide plenty of evidence of the academic success that our girls achieve.
These young women have worked extremely hard and have every reason indeed to be proud of all of their achievements. In 2022, at A Level/Pre-U, 92% of the grades achieved were A* to B with the A*-A/D1-D3 percentage remaining consistently high, at 75%. Fifteen girls leave Downe House having achieved 3 or more A* grades, which is an outstanding achievement.
At GCSE, 88% of all grades were awarded at grades 9-7 (A*-A) and an amazing 34% of all our pupils achieved 9 or more grade 9-8s (A*); among them were four girls whose academic endeavour saw them achieve 11 or more grade 9 -8 results. Factoring in the disruption to their studies that the pandemic caused, the achievements of this remarkable group of pupils are even more outstanding. Well done to them all.
