Congratulations to all of our A Levels students at Roedean – they have achieved outstanding results across a range of subjects, and these will provide a springboard to great success at top universities across the world.

The School is hugely proud of its 100% Oxbridge success, as well as significant numbers pursuing STEM subjects at undergraduate level, including a large number going on to study Medicine and Veterinary Medicine – these include Flora, who will study Veterinary Medicine at Cambridge, and twins, Hannah and Mairi, who are both reading Medicine, at Sheffield and Oxford. In this respect, Roedean continues to buck the trend for girls’ education, with 43% choosing STEM subjects at university – these courses include Civil Engineering, Sustainable Built Environments, Actuarial Science, and Biochemistry.

A third of students have achieved straight A*-A grades, and these include four who have straight A* grades:  Julia, who performed Grieg’s Piano Concerto at the Brighton Festival Fringe, has five A* grades and will study Computer Science at Cambridge; Jemima, a weekly boarder from London, has three A*s, and will study Finance, Accounting and Management at Nottingham; Haewon, from Korea, who has three A*s, and will read Physics with Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, London; and Carrie, who achieved four A* grades and will read Architecture at Cambridge.  Over three quarters of the cohort were awarded at least one A*-A grade. However, alongside the top performers, the School is immensely proud of those who outperformed expectations, and these grades will provide them a stepping stone to even greater success in the future.

The Creative and Performing Arts have also enjoyed remarkable success across five A Levels on offer, with 94% of all results awarded at A* or A grade.  Among this number are Alice and Fola, who have highly-coveted unconditional places to study Fashion at Kingston University, Galina, one of the outgoing Heads of School, will study Classical Clarinet at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and Twinkie and Mackenzie, who will study Architecture and Fine Art, both at University College London.

Niamh Green, our Head, said, ‘Congratulations to our A Level cohort!  As individuals, they have achieved fantastic academic results which they will take with them to the next stage of their lives.  I am incredibly proud that they have done so, while also playing sport, performing on stage, raising money for charity, and being exceptional role-models for the younger girls.  I wish them all the very best for the future.’
