RGSAO students gain good marks

RGSAO Worcester has again achieved excellent results in the GCSE examinations with 52.1% of passes being at A*/A grade. The overall pass rate (A*-C grades) was 97.2%, and 99.9% of candidates achieved 5 A*-C grades. Forty-two RGS candidates gained at least eight A* or A grades.

As in the recent A Level examinations, this top independent school achieved remarkable results in traditionally tough subjects such as Physics, Maths, Geography, Drama, Design Technology, Latin and Religious Studies.

“These excellent scores continue the pattern set by our A Level students,” said Headmaster Andy Rattue. “They buck the national trend away from academically challenging subjects and show what can be achieved by motivated pupils, first-rate teachers and supportive parents. The results are all the more remarkable when you consider how much these students have also achieved beyond the classroom in sport, drama, music and adventurous outdoor pursuits.”
