Reports & Results

2012 - another outstanding year at A level.
  • Nearly 50% of papers were graded A* or A.
  • One in six was an A*.
  • Nearly all pupils achieved first choice offers, many at Russell or 1994 group universities.
  • There were A grades in six foreign languages, as well as outstanding performances in mathematics, the sciences, economics, English and history.
  • Nearly one third of candidates achieved at least A*A*A or equivalent.
We can be equally pleased with 2012’s GCSE results.
  • Yet again the proportion of A* and As exceeded 50%.
  • Just over a third achieved at least ten A* or A.
  • The median pupil (the one ranked exactly half way down the list) gained an average of a grade A.
  • A number of pupils achieved 10, 11 or 12 A*s.

 

League Tables

Woodbridge is one of 68 leading independent schools who do not submit results to league tables. There are many reasons for this:

  • League tables encourage the deselection of young people at key points in their education. Woodbridge believes in opportunity for all.
  • League tables award the same points for all subjects. Mathematics, the sciences, modern foreign languages, which many of our candidates study, are up to two grades more difficult than media studies, health and social science.
  • League tables encourage schools to force feed pupils an unnecessary number of A levels to boost a school’s points score. There are very few university courses that ask for four A levels, and none that count general studies.
