A Level Results 2011 - 100 A* Grades
Press Release - Thursday, 18^th August 2011

With 84.5% of all subjects examined gaining A*/A/B grades, the great majority of pupils at Dauntsey’s School will have much to celebrate when they come in to collect their results later today. Headmaster, Stewart Roberts, said he was delighted to see such strength of achievement across the board with just over one in five grades (23.1%) being awarded the new prestigious A* grade. In congratulating the pupils, the Headmaster also expressed his gratitude to both teachers and parents who have so ably supported the 134 “A” level candidates: “I have always known that today is a nerve-wracking and worrying occasion for both pupils and teachers as so much seems to depend on the grades achieved, and not least this year, but, for the first time, I know what a difficult day it is for parents: I am not sure who was more worried this morning – my son or myself.”

Ten pupils gained the grades required to gain admission to either Oxford or Cambridge. Andrew McCredie, who achieved four A* grades, was the tenth and last to have his place confirmed: he learnt this whilst sailing on the school boat, Jolie Brise, en route from Lithuania to Poland.

GCSE Results 2011
Press Release - Thursday, 25^th August 2011

With half the 122 GCSE candidates at Dauntsey’s School gaining seven or more A/A* grades at GCSE, many pupils will be celebrating their success when they open their results later today. Four pupils gained a clean sweep of A* grades with George Ashley leading the field with eleven A*s, including an A* in Mandarin which he took as a club activity. Unlike the maintained sector, many departments at Dauntsey’s opted for the IGCSE course for their subject which offers more rigour and less coursework, and is generally considered a better preparation for A Level. Currently we offer IGCSE courses in Spanish, Mathematics, Business Studies, German and History; next year we will be adding English, Physics, Chemistry and Biology to this list. Given this mixed currency of qualifications, league table comparisons become somewhat invidious. For the record 65.9% of the 1,151 subjects taken resulted in the award of an A or A* grade.
