With a record number of A* grades – almost 33% – at A level, and nearly 48% at GCSE, Abingdon pupils
have every reason to look happy. The A level results are especially pleasing given that the number of A*s
awarded nationally has fallen for the first time ever. Across the country, GCSE English Language grades
have also fallen but not at Abingdon where 89% of candidates gained A* or A in the subject. What pleases
the School most about these results is the fact that the boys manage to achieve them whilst contributing
at the top level in so many other fields. Over the summer boys have represented Great Britain in rowing,
kayaking and at the International Linguistic Olympiad. They have taken part in a music tour to Barcelona,
helped run a summer school in Moldova and undertaken challenging expeditions with the CCF and D of E.
Boys, staff and parents are all to be congratulated!
