The Ridgeway School records best ever A-Level results

Staff at The Ridgeway School are celebrating the hard work and achievements of Year 13 students.

The newly-released A-level results are the school’s best, and the team say they and are testament to the quality of education at The Ridgeway. 

Students, staff and families have worked tirelessly together, and the class of 2024 will see over 80 percent of the year group head to university, with others taking up excellent employment and apprenticeship positions.

With 33 percent of grades at A* or A, and approximately 60 percent at grades A*-B, the students are leaving The Ridgeway with the qualifications they need to open doors to their futures. The school is particularly proud that a quarter of students achieved AAB or better in their subjects.

Some notable successes include:

Ewan Ridge: A* in Maths, Further Maths and an A in Computer Science

Tia Loveridge: A* in Art and Graphics and a Distinction in Applied Business

Hannah Spackman: A* in Maths, Graphics and an A in Geography

"Working with this group has truly been a pleasure and I have no doubt these young people will move on to great successes and we wish them all the best."

Simon Cowley, interim CEO at The White Horse Federation, said: “Huge congratulations to all our students! You have bright futures ahead and we look forward to seeing what you go on to achieve in the future.
