Oundle School

Oundle School pupils were celebrating having achieved an outstanding set of GCSE and IGCSE results. This year, pupils received a mixed economy of grades on the 9 to 1 and old letter scales: 57 per cent of all grades awarded were 9, 8 or A*, the second highest proportion of top grades for over 10 years. Fifteen pupils achieved a clean sweep of the highest grades available to them, whilst over 40 per cent of the year group recorded the equivalent to all A* and A. Amongst the reformed qualifications, 33 per cent of all results were grade 9, the highest grade, and 62 per cent achieved grades 8 or 9. Performance was strong across all subjects with Classical Greek, English, Latin and Russian leading the way with over 70 per cent A* grades or equivalent. More than three quarters of all candidates received grades 9 or 8 in English Language and English Literature IGCSEs.

The school said it was extremely pleased its pupils have performed so well in all public examinations. Sarah Kerr-Dineen, head of Oundle School, said: “These are exceptional results from a hardworking year group, who can look ahead with confidence to a fulfilling Sixth Form career.”
