Examination Results 2019
Our distinctive route to high achievement #Believe #Achieve #Succeed
Our Distinctive Route to High Achievement If a girl leaves us with just a sheet of excellent academic results and no more, we have failed. What is her story? What has she given? Who has she become? Does she have self-belief, resilience and a sense of deep rooted happiness? Her achievements are so much more than a list of grades on a piece of paper. We are delighted to share with you our record breaking A level results and our proven formula to GCSE success but our true headlines are these:
Our girls have achieved: • 100% pass rate in becoming confident, resilient and happy. • Grade 9 for excellence in participation in extra-curricular life. • Grade 9 for calculating that happiness is the square root to success. • Grade 9 in scientifically proving that single-sex education allows girls to excel in Science. • A* for all girls in understanding that achievement is so much more than just academic success.
Our Ethos: If you judge us by our excellent grades alone, you will not understand our ethos. Our interest is in the whole girl: her achievement in everything she does and every aspect of her school life. In her interaction within the school community; in her belief in herself, in her contribution as a pupil, as a peer, as a friend and as an ambassador for Prior’s Field for the whole of her life.
A Level Results Oxford, St Andrews, Liverpool and Exeter are just some of the Universities which Prior’s Field’s super star Sixth Form will be heading to in September. This year we are celebrating some of the best individual results for some years and we are truly delighted by the kaleidoscope of talent and interests which sees girls embarking on courses in: Medicine, Material Sciences, Archaeology, Midwifery and Modern Foreign Languages, to name just a few. The Class of 2019 achieved 59% A*-B with 34% A* - A and with 7 girls celebrating all As and A*s. The breadth and diversity of talent we have seen this year is astounding and we are so delighted at the wonderful results which are so richly deserved by girls and teachers alike. Our ability to deliver right across the curriculum has never been more evident with top results across, Art, Maths, Physics, and Languages.
