A level Results

Wycombe Abbey School has achieved excellent A level results again this year with over 50% (50.4%) candidate entries being awarded the new A*.

Out of 76 candidates, 26 achieved A*s in 3, 4 or 5 subjects and 87.5% of our entries were graded A* or A taken together, almost identical to the School's record in 2007.

Mrs Cynthia Hall, Headmistress, congratulated the girls and staff on their excellent results. "It is wonderful to see girls and staff rewarded for their hard work over two years with such outstanding results. Whether going straight to their chosen university this autumn or applying for a place following a gap year, the girls can go forward with confidence that they are well equipped to study on courses at some of the top universities in this country and abroad", she said.
