Almost one third of Upper Sixth pupils achieved straight A or A* grades in their A-Levels in 2012, three pupils gained 3 A* grades and four boys two A* grades.
15% of all the A-levels taken at the School were awarded the A* grade - for marks of above 90% - while 94% were at grades A*-C. The School also recorded a 100% pass rate (A-E) at A-level, for the seventh consecutive year.
There were many successes among the large number of the Upper Sixth who will be proceeding to university this year, including:
-
Samuel Horsley gained entry to Oxford to read Theology and has been awarded a choral scholarship.
-
Two pupils won places to study Medicine, thereby maintaining the School’s longstanding reputation for putting boys on the path to a successful medical career. Five students will be studying Biomedical Science.
-
Imperial (one), Warwick (two), UCL (two), KCL (two), LSE (one), York (one), Birmingham (one), Nottingham (eight), Durham (two), Manchester (three) and Newcastle (three).
-
Mathematics (two), Economics or Finance (nine), Engineering (nine), History (three), English Literature (three) and Philosophy (four).
More than three fifths (61%) of all GCSEs taken at The John Lyon School in 2012 gained an A* or A grade - compared to just 22.4% nationally. Seventeen boys achieved five or more A* grades and seven had straight As or A*s in all their subjects.
