Celebrating incredible A Level results for 2023

We are very proud of our 2023 cohort who have achieved an incredible set of A level results. An impressive 58% of all grades were awarded at A*/A grade and 88% of grades fell within the A* to B range. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that over 1 in 5 grades—22%—achieved the highest possible mark of A*.

Some 46 students gained a clean sweep of at least 3 A/A* grades with 12 students securing the notable achievement of at least three A* grades. With this year’s grades predicted to fall back in line with pre-pandemic levels, these results are far higher than our 2019 results, making them the best ever in ‘normal’ circumstances; there is no doubt that the class of 2023 has shown their commitment and adaptability.

With such outstanding results, our students have gained places at top universities across the country.  Those students holding offers for Oxford and Cambridge were all successful and will head off to study Chemistry, History and Politics, Geography and Modern Languages.

Across the board the achievements of this cohort were exceptional with Reed’s students also reading courses such as Maths at Durham, Warwick and St Andrews; Medicine at Bristol; Politics at Bath and Physics at Manchester, to name but a few. Students with applications at universities in Europe and the USA also were all successful to prestigious schools such as Tilburg in the Netherlands, and Berkley California, Wakeforest, Notre Dame and Stanford in the USA. In keeping with our aim to look at alternative higher education options, students have gained prestigious degree apprenticeships with Google and the RAF, showcasing their aptitude for real-world application.

The Headmaster, Mark Hoskins commented, "These stunning results are a testament to the resilience and dedication of our students. Their ability to navigate challenging circumstances and excel academically is truly commendable. I am immensely proud of their accomplishments and the bright futures that lie ahead for each of them. All of this is only possible of course because of our incredible teachers who have worked, as ever, with skill, dedication and compassion to ensure the best possible outcomes for our students."
