Outstanding Achievements
This is the first year since 2019 where grades have been pulled back nationally with an anticipated 11% drop in A*s and As and a return to pre-pandemic grading when 25.5% of entries were awarded A* or A.
The pupils at Stafford Grammar School have worked incredibly hard for their A Levels and we are so pleased to see their efforts rewarded with another strong set of grades. Having not been able to take GCSE exams because of the COVID restrictions this has been their first set of formal examination assessments except for those who took AS levels, though the school has always simulated the exam setting for their mock exams (from Year 7 upwards) to ensure our pupils are thoroughly prepared for their real exams.
This year 39.5% of the schools grades were awarded A* or A with several pupils achieving a full set of the highest grades which is a magnificent accomplishment. The pupils achieved just over 61% A*-B grades with a 100% overall pass rate, maintaining the school’s impressive record of every pupil passing all their A levels.
This year’s AS results were also outstanding with 46% of all grades at A (there are no A*s at AS Level) and just over 70% at A-B. Headmaster of Stafford Grammar School, Nicholas Pietrek, said “It is a great pleasure and a privilege to see the endeavours of our pupils rewarded and we wish them every success as they move onto their next adventure, with bright futures ahead of them.”
