St Dunstan’s College is delighted to reveal Year 13 students have achieved the best A Level results in the school’s 137-year history. 

This year, 89% of all grades achieved were A*- B with an outstanding 64% being A - A*. It is expected that these grades will position St Dunstan’s once again within the best performing independent schools in the country. 

Speaking about the record-breaking results, Jade McLellan, Head of Senior School at St Dunstan’s College, said: ‘We are immensely proud of our Year 13 students for achieving our best ever A Level results for a third consecutive year. These outstanding grades are a testament to their hard work, intellectual curiosity and determination, as well as the dedication and expertise of our teaching staff.  

‘We were particularly delighted to see boys and girls performing equally strongly, a clear demonstration of how co-education thrives at St Dunstan’s. Our students leave us ready to make a meaningful difference in the world, and we could not be prouder of all they have achieved.’ 

Following these historic results, 96% of students will progress to their preferred universities, with more than two-thirds securing places at institutions ranked in the Complete University Guide’s Top 25. This year’s destinations reflect our commitment to supporting students’ individual journeys at St Dunstan’s, with eight students reading engineering, four entering drama schools, two reading Medicine and two taking up places to study Law. Three students have also received offers from prestigious music conservatoires. 

Alex Brewer, Head of Sixth Form, added: ‘This year’s leavers have been an exceptional group to work with - driven, supportive and eager to make the most of every opportunity. Their record-breaking results are richly deserved and reflect the dedication they have shown both in and beyond the classroom. The success across such a wide range of subjects - from medicine and engineering to music and the arts - highlights the breadth and balance of a St Dunstan’s education. I am especially proud of the way they have supported one another and embraced all that our co-educational community offers. As they take their next steps, I have no doubt they will continue to live out the values of St Dunstan’s and make a positive impact in whatever paths they choose." 

Speaking about her results Mei Lin, who will be reading medicine at Manchester, said: ‘I’m really pleased with my results and very excited to be starting university next month. I will really miss the community spirit and my friends at St Dunstan’s. The teachers here have also been so helpful preparing me for this next step.’ 

Outgoing Head of School, Yasmin, who will be reading Modern Languages and Arabic at the University of Edinburgh, also said: ‘I’m so happy with my results, and so proud of our year group. Everyone has worked so hard and all deserve this moment. I will miss the Sixth Form and seeing everyone every day.’
