Sixth Form Exam Results

Alleyn’s students showcase excellence in STEM, humanities, languages and arts in resounding all-round A level success.

Head Jane Lunnon welcomed excellent results from this year’s A Level students at the leading South London-based co-ed independent school.

Students at Alleyn’s celebrated another excellent year academically, with results demonstrating a diverse and well-rounded subject mix across STEM subjects, languages, humanities and the arts.

• 80% met their first choice of university and 86% met either their first or insurance choice.
• 40% of exams taken were awarded an A* grade, 77% were awarded an A* or A, and 93% were awarded A*, A or B.
• 6 students gained four A*s, 29 received 3 A*s, and 95 students out of 156 gained at least 3 A*s or A grade.
• All our 13 Year 13 bursary students attained ABB or higher, with 2 receiving three A stars.

Head, Mrs Jane Lunnon said:

I am incredibly proud and awed by the achievements, spirit and creativity of our Year 13s. Their immense character and passion is reflected in excellent results across STEM, languages, the arts and humanities, with an impressive number of students receiving A* or A in a mix of subjects across those disciplines, and with two individual students being awarded a national commendation for their art portfolios alongside first class results in other subjects. The strong performance of our bursary students is also a brilliant reflection of their important role in our school community, and we look forward to continuing to expand our bursary programme in the years to come.

This year group has shone in their ability to marry academic success with excellence and passion beyond the classroom on the sport field, the stage and out in our local community. Their achievements are a fitting testament to their resilience and hard work following the challenges of the Covid years and bely the fact that these are the first public qualifications they have sat in exam conditions.

Head of Upper School, Corisande Low said,

Alongside achieving these excellent results, these talented students have led the school with compassion and conviction. As strong role models embodying the Alleyn’s values of Respect, Opportunity, Courage, Curiosity and Kindness, they have guided younger students in all areas of school life, from the pastoral mentorship of the house system, through to a vast array of co-curricular clubs and activities.

The results continue a long tradition of academic success at Alleyn’s, which prides itself on a holistic, progressive approach to education. Recent ISI inspection reports, published in early 2022, judged both Alleyn’s Senior and Junior Schools to be excellent in both academic and pastoral categories.

Alleyn's Students Show Spirit to Secure Record A Level Successes

Students at co-educational Alleyn’s have achieved exceptional 2022 A Level results and secured a record number of first-choice university places.

Boys and girls at the leading UK independent day school, based in Dulwich, south-east London, have received a swathe of outstanding grades in their A Levels this year.

The A Level results, which are the first to be based on sit-down public assessments since 2019, are the school’s best examination outcomes to date. Both boys and girls attained top marks in a range of subjects including Biology, Physics, English and Mathematics, with an impressive proportion being awarded 3 A*s or better. One pupil, Anya in Year 10, achieved a fantastic A* in both her A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics exams.

Students secured a record number of first and second choice university places, with the majority progressing to their preferred university on the back of the results. They advance to top centres of learning in the UK and overseas, including Oxbridge, Russell Group universities and prestigious US destinations such as Yale University.

Head Jane Lunnon said:

I am incredibly proud of our Year 13 Leavers, who have demonstrated awe-inspiring grace and courage throughout an educational journey severely impacted by the vagaries of the pandemic. They have been great fun to work with, and have inspired us and made us laugh every day. Their achievements are testament to their resilience and spirit of possibility, and to the values of respect, opportunity, curiosity, courage and kindness at the heart of our community. Students' embodiment of these virtues has, without doubt, helped them overcome the challenges of the last two years and evidence, so unquestionably, all that they are capable of. I am delighted to see so many progress to first-choice universities amidst an incredibly competitive landscape. Bravo to the colleagues that have supported them, bravo to our students, and I look forward to seeing them again as alumni, as they remain, of course, Always Alleyn’s.

Head of Upper School Rob Atkinson said:

We couldn’t be prouder of our talented young people. They are exceptional and inspiring, and the resilience they have shown has been nothing short of remarkable. To make it through an incredibly tough two years of Covid-impacted life and education and do so well in their first public examinations is a tremendous achievement.

The results continue a long tradition of academic success at Alleyn’s, which prides itself on a holistic, progressive approach to education. Recent ISI inspection reports, published in early 2022, judged both Alleyn’s Senior and Junior Schools to be excellent in both academic and pastoral categories.
