The St Marylebone School Newsletter September 2012 Sports Day—July 2012
Best ever examination results! Well done to all pupils and teachers in Years 11, 12 and 13 last year! Starting with GCSE it is fantastic to know that the 2012 GCSE results were our best ever. 93% of pupils achieved 5 A*-C including English and Maths and despite the national uproar about English results the pass rate for that subject was actually higher than last year. Special mention must go to the Mathematics students and teachers; 95% of pupils achieved at least a grade C last year – that is the best ever result for the department and the first time the figure has been over 90%. Well done to everyone involved, and especially to the teachers who put in so much time with pupils throughout their GCSE course. Year 12 AS results were up on last year (the half way point of their A level courses) and so were the A2 results. 73% of grades were A*-B; this was up 5% on the previous year. 80% of Year 13 are now embarking on university courses with a huge number of them at the prestigious Russell Group universities. 15% are taking a gap year and 5% have chosen to go straight into the world of work.
Overall, a very successful year that leaves St Marylebone the best in Westminster, once again.
