RESULTS NEWSLETTER 2015
Congratulations to all our students for the phenomenal results achieved.
We as a school community are once again celebrating superb A Level results with two
students heading to Oxbridge and six to medicine. This year a fantastic 29% of all
exams taken by Abbey students were marked at grade A*, 61% of exams taken by their
students were marked at A*A grade and 82% at A*/A/B grade.
I am proud of the students’ magnificent achievements; we are a school community
energised by a love of learning and the pursuit of outstanding achievement for all.
These results show just how dedicated the teaching staff are to the students of our
school as well as how enthused our students are with their learning.
I wish you the best of luck at your chosen universities and future careers.
