Outstanding A Level Results

Bishop’s Stortford College is once again celebrating the talents of its A Level students, further cementing its position as a leading co-educational independent day and boarding school for students aged three to 18.

The College’s Class of 2024 received outstanding A Level results on Thursday 15 August, amid a day of celebration for students, their families, and College staff.

With 94% of students achieving A*-C and 18% of all grades awarded A*, the College’s A Level results are once again impressive. The point score per student has increased from 128.5 in 2023 to 131 this year.

The modern education the College delivers, focuses on academic excellence that nurtures values and leadership qualities in every student. It offers a holistic education, which is reflected not just by the fantastic A Level results, but also success and accolades across sport and the performing arts with students encouraged to embrace the opportunities available.
