Record Results for Year 13 Students
Staff and students at Cheney School are delighted at the excellent A Level results this year. The pass rate for students (A*-E grades) was 97% for all A Levels sat by the 94 students taking A2 examinations and leaving school this year. 72% of results were A*-C grades; 52% were A*-B grades; 25% were A*/A grades and half of these were A*s. This represents a significant rise in the number of A* grades achieved compared with last year’s very good results, and a rise in the average number of UCAS points achieved by students from 256 to 301.
