Following Carol Vorderman’s call for all pupils to study maths up to the age of 18, 58% of Roedean 2011 leavers will be studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) or other numeracy-based subjects at university. Thinking ahead to graduate employment opportunities, professional courses such as Law and Accounting and Finance have also proved popular.
We were delighted to maintain our 100% pass rate, with 50% of grades at A*-A. This mirrors perfectly the national average for independent schools which also stands at 50% of grades at A*-A.
Cambridge, UCL, King's and Bristol are amongst this year's UK university destinations; and further afield, Chicago, NYU, San Francisco and Hong Kong.
In Maths, 59% of grades were A*-A and in Science 54% of grades were A*-A.
The following subjects gained over 50% A*-A in their results, all with a pupil cohort over ten: Chemistry, Further Maths, Maths, Physics and Psychology.
Overall, 42% of candidates achieved the prized AAB grades or above (next year, universities will be able to recruit AAB candidates without any fear of capping).
Congratulations to all the girls, and their dedicated teachers, for such a solid performance.
