Alderley Edge School for Girls is celebrating its best ever results at 'A' level, with well over three quarters of all results having been awarded at A*- B grade.
More A* grades have been awarded than ever before at the school, with virtually a 100% increase in A* grades. The girls have achieved highly across all of the 22 subjects offered, with – for instance – 100% of all grades achieved in Chemistry being either A* or A.
100% of girls got into their university of choice, with more unconditional offers having been received than ever before, and girls are going on to study a wide range of subjects at prestigious universities.
Many girls have a science focus to their degrees with Nina Fraser looking forward to studying Dentistry at Sheffield University after achieving 3 A* grades and the highest grade for her Extended Project Qualification. Katrina Thornber who achieved 2 A* grades and 1 A grade is off to study Neuroscience at Bristol University and Bianca Boren - with her 3 A's and a B grade – is leaving to study Medical Biochemistry at Leeds. Head Girl Rowdah Charbak achieved 2 A* grades and is also off to study Architecture at Manchester.
Helen Jeys, Headmistress at the school, is thrilled at the results and commented, "As we are approaching our twenty year anniversary, I am thrilled that these are the best results so far for Alderley Edge School for Girls. The girls have worked so hard and have shown determination and resilience in the face of some very challenging new courses. With our focus on academic excellence in an environment of outstanding pastoral care, the girls have flourished in the sixth form and leave with the self-confidence to succeed outside of our school gates. I couldn't be more proud of them and the support offered to them by the staff at AESG."
James Russell, the Head of Sixth Form reiterated: "I am so proud of all the girls have achieved. With so many girls going on to study a diverse range of courses at first rate universities, I know that AESG has prepared them for the next steps in their bright careers. They have the skills needed to achieve even further success in their chosen field."
