Channing students are celebrating an outstanding set of A level results this summer, with 94.2% of grades awarded at A*-B and 25.1% at A*. Almost two thirds of subjects have achieved a full set of results at A*-B grade, while our Classical Civilisation, Drama, French and German teachers are celebrating 100% of their students achieving A* and A grades.
For the first time ever, Channing students took an EPQ in Year 12 rather than Year 13 and a staggering 92% achieved A*-A.
Three students will be heading off to Oxbridge colleges this Autumn including former Head Girl Aimee, who came up from Channing Junior School and will be reading Human, Social, and Political Sciences at Cambridge. Her fellow Head Girl, Eve, will be heading off to her first choice, Leeds University, to study Politics.
Testament to the school’s commitment to inspiring students to find and pursue their own individual passions, Channing students will be taking up places on a wide range of courses at world class universities. As well as Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Classical Civilisation, Computer Science, Economics, English, Mathematics and Medicine, girls will be studying History with Innovation, Liberal Arts, Mechanical Engineering, Neuroscience, Paramedic Science, Psychology, Social Anthropology and Politics, Sociology and Systems Engineering, to name just a few.
In addition to Oxford, Cambridge and leading medical schools, Russell Group universities dominate the list of destinations with the Universities of Bristol, Edinburgh and Leeds being firm favourites this year. Other top choices include Birmingham, Durham, Exeter, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and York.
Lindsey Hughes, Headmistress, is full of praise for her Year 13 cohort and their teachers alike:
“I am bursting with pride and delighted to congratulate all our students and their teachers for these incredible results. This is a stunning achievement and is the direct result of all their hard work and dedication. Exam grades don’t tell the whole story and what pleases us just as much as the girls who achieve the strings of top grades are those students who have enjoyed significant personal triumphs, and whose hard-fought exam results are enabling them to go on to do what they want to do at the institution of their choice.
I wish all our leavers every success in their next steps, wherever they may take them, and look forward to welcoming them back to Channing over the next few years to share their experiences and inspire future generations of students.”
