A Levels Results 2010

‘One of the best years ever for boys at Sherborne’

Sherborne School announced excellent A level and IB results.  80% of grades were A* - B with a quarter of the whole year group achieving at least one A*.  30 boys have achieved 3 As or more or its IB equivalent. 

’I am thrilled that my final set of A level and IB results are among the very best Sherborne has produced in the ten years that I have been here, ‘ says retiring Headmaster Simon Eliot. ‘The overall figures are very pleasing and I would like to congratulate both the boys and their teachers on their achievements.  In particular, I am delighted that my last two Heads of School, Edward Bonnell and Jamie Burke, have sailed into Oxford to read History and Classics respectively.’

This is the third year that Sherborne has offered the choice of A levels or IB at sixth form.  Simon Henderson, Deputy Head (Academic), comments ‘I am especially happy to see the success of our boys who took the International Baccalaureate, where on average they achieved UCAS points equivalent to 1 A* and 3 A grades at A level. Two boys, Thomas Gilbert and Jack Nott-Bower, achieved results which exceeded 5 A grades at A level. The IB provides an excitingly rich educational experience and these results show that the boys have met the academic challenge head-on and flourished as a result.’
