55% A* & A at A Level!

Lucton’s Year 13 students are celebrating the excellent A-level results they have received this year. A massive 55% of all A levels taken at Lucton achieved A* or A grades. This is an excellent set of results of which many highly selective sixth forms would be proud. The majority of this year’s Lucton leavers are now destined for Russell Group universities. Further statistics in the results are equally impressive, with 76% A* to B and 85% A* to C grades. Moreover, it is worth adding that the vast majority of the A-levels taken in the Lucton Sixth Form are in the traditional, academically demanding, subjects favoured by world-class universities. This aspirational spirit was particularly exemplified by Head Boy Yang Xi, whose six A levels included three A*s in chemistry, maths and further maths and Laurence Thompson’s A* in maths and further As in physics and chemistry. Other notable performances were recorded by Dhiluni Kandage (3 As and 2 Bs) and Lauren Wiseman-Jones (2 As and a B).

Solid GCSE performance

37% A* and A grades at GCSE for the second year running. There were smiles all round at Lucton School on results morning. For the second year running, over one third of all exams taken achieved A or A* grades, which is well above the national average. 80% of GCSE candidates achieved 5 A* to C grades, with 86% of all exams taken awarded C or above. This year’s cohort also achieved the highest points per candidate in recent years.
