Upper Sixth achieve outstanding A Level results
Pupils, parents and staff are celebrating outstanding A Level results achieved today by Tonbridge’s Upper Sixth pupils.
Continuing our strong track record of success, this year 92 per cent of all grades awarded are A*, A or B, with 71.4 per cent of those being A* and A. Notably, almost half of the cohort (76 boys) have achieved straight A* and A grades.
These excellent results have secured places for many students at the UK’s top universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, the London School of Economics, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Durham, Bath, Exeter and UCL among others. The large majority of leavers have successfully gained entry to their first-choice destinations, with a strong interest in Medicine.
Additionally, a significant number of students have opted to study abroad, with a growing interest in US destinations including Columbia, USC, UCLA, Brown, Washington University St Louis, Claremont McKenna and Miami. Others will be studying at Hong Kong University, the University of British Columbia, and universities in the Netherlands, Germany and Australia.
James Priory, Headmaster, said, “Our School community is celebrating another impressive year of A Level results, and it is exciting to see our pupils progress to such a diverse and high-calibre range of destinations.
They have made a significant contribution to our School community, both in and out of the classroom, and we look forward to seeing them make a positive impact on the wider world as a consequence of all that they have experienced during their time at Tonbridge.”
Today’s results reflect the Independent Schools Inspectorate’s endorsement of Tonbridge’s innovative Sixth Form curriculum and its community engagement programme – which were both recognised as significant strengths (ISI, 2024).
The Sixth Form curriculum allows students to develop advanced specialisation in their A-level subjects while maintaining a broad academic experience through options such as the Extended Project Qualification and additional language courses.
