Examination Results

The pursuit of excellence and a culture of achievement permeate all that happens in this School, it is engrained in our character.

Academic results achieved by students are among the very best in the country leading to places at top universities, art and music colleges. Individuals and teams achieve success consistently at national level in academic competitions, sports and a broad range of activities. These outstanding levels of performance are part of the ethos of the school and are supported by the Individual Pupil Monitoring Scheme, where challenge grades are set for students based on their own potential. Excellence is celebrated in assemblies, awards ceremonies and prize days held for each age group.

Teaching is geared to challenging and extending every student to go beyond the acquisition of knowledge to acquire the ability to process complex information and understand advanced concepts.

Both G.C.S.E. and A-Level results over the years have been good, with overall ‘pass’ rates at or close to 100% mostly at grades which have secured consistently high places for the school in recently published National league tables. Virtually all students proceed ultimately to higher education courses, usually including several successful applicants in a variety of subjects to Oxford and Cambridge (more than eighty in the last four years).

St. Olaves has once again achieved outstanding 'A' Level results.  62.5 % of the sixth form students achieved grade 'A' with an average 435.7 points per student. Congratulations to all concerned!
