Belles of the Academic Ball

Another bumper crop of A Level results has been awarded to St Francis’ College girls this year.
83.7% of results were at A /B grade, with 59.6% of the examinations taken achieving grade A. Possibly the most remarkable statistic is that almost 40% of the Upper Sixth girls achieved 3, 4 or 5 straight A Grades.

“This year’s results are outstanding”, remarked the Headmistress, Mrs Dorothy MacGinty. “It is testament to the diligence and determination of every individual girl. We are not a highly selective school, but we offer excellent teaching staff and small classes, affording the opportunity to nurture the individual’s potential.

14% of our Upper Sixth have gained places at ‘Oxbridge’, which is one of the highest percentages in the country. I am proud of all of the girls who have worked hard and gained places at their first choice university.”
