Pupils at Magdalen College School are celebrating an excellent set of A Level results. The school is delighted to report that 95% of grades were awarded at A*-B, with 81% at A*-A and 42% at A*. In addition, 47 pupils – more than a quarter of the year group – attained 3 A*s or more while 19 pupils achieved 4 A*s or more.
Pupils will be heading to some of the UK’s top universities including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, St Andrews and Durham to read subjects ranging from Physics to History and Architecture to German. 14 pupils will be studying Medicine.
Master Helen Pike said “Our pupils have once again demonstrated remarkable resilience and dedication in achieving these outstanding results. Their success not only reflects their academic efforts but also their ability to excel in a broader context, from community engagement to national and international competitions. We are proud of their contributions, both within and beyond the classroom, and grateful for the unwavering support of their teachers and families. These achievements are a testament to the strength and spirit of our wonderful school community.”
