SUMMER 2008: A LEVEL RESULTS

Students recorded an overall A Level pass rate at A - C of 75.3%. The pass rate at A and B this year was 45.5%.

Thirty-five Upper Sixth A2 candidates altogether took 94 "A2" exams and 30 (86%) gained 2 or more passes at A - E.

An outstanding individual performance came from Head Girl Sabrina Schemmel with four "A" grades.

The Headmaster, Andy Waters, paid tribute to the hard work, commitment and dedication of Grenville College's staff and students.

"These are very sound results which show the strength and depth of the Sixth Form at Grenville. Students are actively encouraged to sit the exams of their choice, and many have exceeded their expectations. The Sixth Form and their teaching and tutorial staff should rightly be proud of these achievements, and we wish the students every success as they move on from Grenville."

SUMMER 2007: A LEVEL RESULTS

2006’s record A-level results were a hard act to follow, but this year’s grades were even better. There was an overall A*-C pass rate of 100% [that’s right: 100%], including a best-ever figure of 65% at grades A & B. In fact, almost 40% of grades achieved were A’s.

But what gives us a special sense of pride at Grenville is that, alongside the outstanding and well-deserved successes of our academic high-flyers, the inspired and dedicated achievements of the school’s dyslexic department and its students are no less remarkable.

Robert Bailey, for example, joined us in Year 9 with a diagnosis of dyspraxia and a school report that could charitably be described as pessimistic. Rob has just achieved 3 A’s at A-level and is now at Cardiff University reading History.

Genuinely, we know of no other school in the region - and beyond - who could match Grenville in this regard.
