Pupils at Oundle have again performed exceedingly well in their Sixth Form examinations, with just under one in four grades being awarded A* or equivalent, continuing the School’s record of high achievement at this level. Ten percent of the grades for Pre-U subjects attracted the D1 grade, which represents a step above the equivalent A*.
Twenty percent of pupils scored at least two A* grades, with stand-out results from William Brettle (4 A*, 1 D2), Magnus Jeffery, Ming Ting Lau and Edward Wilson (3 A*, 1 D1), and Winnie Liu (4 A*).
As a result, 30 Oundelians have confirmed their places at Oxford or Cambridge Universities, repeating the success of previous years' cohorts.
Pupil performance was strong across all subjects: noted success came in English, Mathematics, Latin, Greek, and Chemistry, where over 30% of all candidates secured A* grades or equivalent; all candidates taking German this year secured the highest Distinction grades at Pre-U.
