Examination
Results 2009 - A Level
Rishworth
is celebrating another successful year
for its A level students, with the high quality
of the grades being especially pleasing.
With all grades cashed in,
-
the pass-rate (A-E) was
100%
-
the ‘top end’ was
again very strong, with the
highest-performing students gaining their
strings of A Grades
-
Nearly one third of
all grades were As
In terms of points,
-
the average UCAS
point-score per candidate was 293.4
-
three students out of
every four gained 240 points or more – i.e.
3 C Grades at full A level (or the
equivalent)
- over half the
students gained 300 points or more - i.e. 3
B Grades at full A level (or the equivalent)
- between a quarter
and a third of the students gained 360
points or more, i.e. 3 A Grades at full A
level (or the equivalent)
-
one in five students
gained 400 points or more, with one student
gaining as many as 620 UCAS points
We are particularly pleased
that so many students surpassed what might have
been expected from their GCSE results.
At Rishworth we have not only
academically gifted students in our Sixth Form
but also some who are singularly disadvantaged –
for example by not having English as their
first, or even their second, language.
This makes our results all the more
pleasing.
Individually, the strongest
candidates achieved their string of A grades,
whilst the results of a number of students who
had from the outset found A level work a
particularly tough challenge exceeded all
expectations.
This reflects very well on the
efforts both of the students and of the staff.
In the interests of students’
entitlement to privacy, and in the light of the
responses received in the past from parents to a
school circular which asked for their views
about the publication of examination results,
Rishworth School is continuing its policy of not
publishing without consent the results of
individual students.
