Almost half of all students at Our Lady’s Abingdon achieved at least one A-Level at grade A or above, with 80% securing their first-choice of university.
Our Lady’s Abingdon is a thriving independent co-educational day school for 7-18’s set in beautiful grounds near the centre of Abingdon.
Almost half of all students achieved at least one A-Level at grade A or above, with 5% of students achieving A*-A across all of their subjects. Students have performed well in all 22 Sixth Form courses, including 19 A-levels, EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) and BTEC Media.
Students continue to perform at a very high level in Creative Arts. For example, all A-Level Art students achieved A*. Similarly, students performed exceptionally well in Design Technology, and also in Drama, Economics and Geography. Special congratulations must be given to Head of School Eleanor and fellow prefect Sophie who both achieved straight A*-A’s.
Above the national average, 80% of OLA students have secured their first choice of university at a range of top Russell Group universities, including Cardiff, Leeds and York. The diversity of our students is reflected in their subject choices which include Biochemistry, Business, Cyber Security, Ecology, Engineering, Law and Sport.
OLA has a diverse range of students, some of whom have additional needs, and it is a testament to the strong relationships between students and teachers that each and every individual is able to fulfil their potential.
Commenting on the results Head of OLA, Daniel Gibbons said:
“We continue to live out our core purpose of “To each according to their needs”, and we are very proud of each individual student and all that they achieve, both in and out of the classroom. All students at all levels of ability have performed to their potential in their A-levels, and we wish them the very best for their futures, whether it is at university or in the workplace.”
