Editorial A Level/ BTEC Results Thursday 17th August 2023
Dear Parents,
Re: A Level/ BTEC Results – Boys’ School
This year’s cohort missed out on the chance to sit GCSEs and suffered major disruption to their learning in Years 10 and 11 which had an impact on their Sixth Form studies. Despite this, the decision was taken by the government and Ofqual to return the grading to pre-pandemic levels. In these challenging circumstances, we are delighted that the A level and BTEC results which are published today demonstrate the hard work and commitment of Hasmonean students and show that, yet again, they have performed at a high level. The table below shows how well the students have performed and they are broadly in line with the 2019 results. Nearly a quarter of the students achieved at least 3 A/ Distinction grades with several receiving all top grades.
| GRADE A*/ DISTINCTION* | 14% |
| GRADE A*/A D*/D | 43% |
| GRADE A*-B | 67% |
| GRADE A*-C D*-M | 83% |
| PASS | 98% |
| TOTAL NUMBER OF CANDIDATES | 90 |
We would like to congratulate the students for working hard throughout their courses sometimes in very difficult circumstances to attain the best results possible. If your son has not achieved the results he needs to get him into his choice of course, there is a lot of help available, both in school and at UCAS.
