Ryde School are delighted with the Ryde School 2023 A Level grades.
Despite the national backdrop of fewer top grades, 16.3% of grades were A*s which is the highest achievement at this level since 2014 (excluding Covid-adjusted years).
Second highest achievement since 2014
An impressive 37 per cent of grades were A*- A which is the second highest achievement at this level since 2014.
One in five pupils sitting A Levels achieved three A grades or better and over a third two A grades or better.
Just under two thirds of grades were at A*- B. There was also a 100 per cent pass rate across the cohort.
International Baccalaureate
The IB grades issued earlier in the summer were also strong with an average Diploma Programme score of 32.18 which is above the global average.
The IB Careers-Related Programme grades were particularly impressive with half of pupils achieving a distinction or better in the BTEC part of their programme.
The average UCAS points per pupil across all our academic programmes was 145.23 which is just above the equivalent of three As at A Level.

IB Diploma Programme

Head Master Will Turner commented,
“This cohort should be very proud of what they have achieved and the impressive results are a credit to them and their teachers. What is particularly noteworthy is the range of destinations and courses pupils are moving on to.
“We have pupils going on to study more traditional university courses such as English, History, Geography, Law, Economics, Psychology, Maths, Engineering and Sciences. We also have others moving on to courses such as Forensic Investigation & Cyber Security, Computer Game Design, Maritime Business, Musical Theatre and Dance, Live Events Production and Nursing.
“This reflects the wide range of interests among our diverse pupil body and the breadth of the curriculum offered at the School. Two pupils have also gained sports scholarships to US universities. All of us at Ryde School wish this cohort the very best as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.”
