Exam results and destinations 2024
Building on the sustained success of recent years, St Edmund’s’ reputation for delivering consistent academic excellence goes from strength to strength, with pupils securing an admirable collection of grades in 2024 public examinations.
GCSE
This year, 95% of results were awarded 9–4 (A*–C) grades, with 44% of results achieving the top 9–7 (A*–A) mark – a record for St Edmund’s outside of the Covid years, when non-exam grades rose across the board nationally. There were also a number of students that scored ‘Straight As’.
A Level
45% of St Edmund’s students taking A Levels scored at least one A* or A grade, with 22% of total results achieving the prized A*–A bracket. Overall, 79% of exams taken earned A*–C grades.
Again, a number of pupils achieved ‘straight As’. Around one third of leavers gained admission to prestigious Russell Group universities, and St Edmund’s pupils will now go on to take up places at leading UK universities such as Leeds, Nottingham, Durham and York.
Two students will make the journey to colleges in North America, one of whom has secured a double scholarship at Colorado State University that will enable her to pursue her academic studies alongside top-level sporting ambitions. Another pupil, a talented violinist, will take up musical studies at the prestigious Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
Outside of ‘traditional’ further education destinations, a much sought-after degree apprenticeship at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) awaits one successful pupil heading straight to the workplace.
