Our Lady’s Abingdon has recorded another successful year of A-level results, with almost half of all students achieving at least one A-Level at grade A or above and 5% of pupils achieving A*-A across all their chosen subjects.
Students have performed well in all 22 Sixth Form courses, including 19 A-levels, EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) and BTEC Media. Students continue to perform at a very high level in Creative Arts, with, for example, all A-Level Art students achieving A*.
Similarly, students performed exceptionally well in Design Technology and Drama, Economics and Geography. Special congratulations must be given to the Head of School, Eleanor, and fellow prefect, Sophie, who both achieved straight A*-A’s.
Above the national average, 80% of OLA students have secured their first choice of university at a range of top Russell Group universities, including Cardiff, Leeds and York.
The diversity of our students is reflected in their subject choices, which include Biochemistry, Business, Cyber Security, Ecology, Engineering, Law and Sport.
OLA has a diverse range of students, some of whom have additional needs, and it is a testament to the strong relationships between students and teachers that each and every individual can fulfil their potential.
Commenting on the results, the Head of OLA, Daniel Gibbons, said: “We continue to live out our core purpose of “To each according to their needs”, and we are very proud of each individual student and all that they achieve, both in and out of the classroom.
“All students at all levels of ability have performed to their potential in their A-levels, and we wish them the very best for their futures, whether it is at university or in the workplace.”
Our Lady’s Abingdon (OLA) is a Catholic Independent Co-educational Day School for students aged 7 to 18. The school welcomes all faiths and none, and offers a fun and innovative learning experience in a happy and friendly community.
