The summer has perhaps been marred by the debacle surrounding exams but I am delighted that the school’s grades have been accepted and that the judgement of the teachers and efforts of the pupils have been duly rewarded. It is a credit to the teachers and to the pupils that they achieved a staggering 37.6% of all grades at 7-9 (the equivalent of the old A and A* grades). By way of comparison, the national average of top grades is 25.9%.

History achieved a phenomenal 63% of all grades at 7-9 with Religious Studies at 56%, and Geography at 46%. Across the Sciences, 37.5% of all grades were at 7-9, Maths at 36% and English (Lit and Lang) at 35.7%.

Across the board the boys have done exceptionally well and we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved, not just in the past two years, but throughout their time with us at Thorpe. We wish all of the boys every success for the future as they embark to pastures new. We have every confidence that their time at Thorpe will have set them up for fantastic opportunities in the future.
