81 boys gained 3 or more A level passes at grade A or A*.
The Headmaster, Mr Mark Turner, said this morning:
‘This is one of our best ever years for A level results with over half our boys gaining 3 or more passes at grade A* or A. This achievement is due to an enormous amount of hard work from the boys and the staff. The results are excellent across all subjects with close to 50% of those boys taking Maths and Art gaining A*s. I am delighted that I leave Abingdon in a year that the boys achieved such tremendous results both academically and in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. I wish them every success for the future.’
