2010 - Best ever exam results for Princethorpe students...

Head, Ed Hester, comments “These are comfortably our best GCSE results ever in the College’s forty-four year history, but more impressive is the fact that 47% of grades are at A* or A, which compares with 33% in 2009, 34% in 2008 and 28% in 2007; a very significant improvement.” He added “Each member of the College’s community brings their own talent and knows they are recognised, accepted, heard, encouraged and challenged to give of their best; these results are very strong indicators that the school’s academic achievements continue to go from strength-to-strength”. Top performer was Daniel Leung who picked up ten A*s, two As and an AS-level at grade A. Close on Leung’s heels were Jacob Stone with nine A*s and one A, and Sarah Ives with nine A*s and one A.

Upper Sixth also did exceptionally well in their A-level results; over 30% of their grades were A* or A and 15 students achieved three or more A* or A grades, producing Princethorpe’s best ever A-level results. Andrew Sullivan was the top performing student with three A* and two A grades, whilst the Head Boy and Head Girl - twins James and Megan Godden – each both bagged a full set of A grades. “We are absolutely delighted that so many of our students have achieved excellent results reflecting the determination and hard work by both the students and staff.” said Ed Hester.

Each year a large proportion of our Year 11 pupils continue on after their GCSEs to our Sixth Form, where increasingly they are being joined by new students from other maintained and independent schools, who are attracted by the co-educational environment, the choice of courses, excellent facilities and good exam results.
