GCSE & A Level results

02 Autumn Term

For many of us the COVID Pandemic seems like a distant memory. However, its impact on education continues to be felt. Students have faced continuous disruption to their studies over the last two years and have had to demonstrate considerable resilience in the face of great uncertainty. Ahead of this year’s results, the Department for Education and Ofqual announced grades would be lower than in 2021, but higher than in 2019, when students last sat summer exams.

And yet, Reddam House students have achieved outstanding results. The A-level results released last week have further cemented Reddam House’s reputation for academic success, despite only having opened seven years ago. With 19% A*, 50% A*-A and 76% A*-B, these incredible results are significantly higher than the national average, and better than many of our local competitor schools.

More importantly, our Year 13 students have largely managed to secure their choice of university course, with the vast majority heading to their first-choice university. Students are going on to study subjects as diverse as Electrical Engineering with Nanotechnology, PPE, Economics, Maths, Graphic Design and Law at some of the most prestigious universities in the world including Durham, Edinburgh, Kings, LSE, Amsterdam and Japan. ‘I feel immensely happy and proud that I have finished my A levels with such great results, and that I am on my way to an amazing university. These two years have been challenging, but I will forever be thankful for the friendships and knowledge I've gained along the way, as they definitely shaped me and helped me grow as a person. Reddam has really helped me thrive, though committed teachers and the tutor team which made me always feel supported and helped me hone my skills in areas I had never expected to excel in.’ Marija Year 13 (A*A*A*A*)

GCSE results were also excellent, with 15% achieving Level 9, 34% achieving 9-8 and 52% achieving 9-7 (equivalent to A*-A in the old system). Again, these results far exceed the national average, almost doubling the national average of grades 9-7. We are so proud of their achievements and delighted to welcome them back to start on their A Level courses.

With the exception of the higher grades awarded during the pandemic, these results are Reddam House Berkshire’s best ever and testament to the hard work of both staff and students, who have shown great determination over the last two years to always aim high and be ambitious. Reddam House continues to be a school on the up, and the future is looking good.
