Following A Level and BTEC results day on 14th August, Oakham School celebrate an astonishing 99% pass rate, with seven pupils achieving straight A*s or equivalent and 29 pupils all achieving A*-A grades. 

For Oakham School, 23% of all grades were awarded at A* or equivalent, a 10% increase from last year. 

Speaking about this year's results, Headmaster Henry Price said 'I'm incredibly proud of how the whole year group has performed across all their courses. At Oakham, we continue to offer a broad and balanced curriculum, and these results show how well young people thrive when given the opportunity to chose the pathway that suits them the best.'  

"We are incredibly proud of our pupils' achievements and the diverse range of university destinations they've secured,' said Head of Careers and Progression Dr Rachael Pearson, 'with the majority gaining places at their first-choice institutions – including Oxford, Durham, Exeter and LSE - to study subjects ranging from Medicine, Law and Engineering to Psychology, Sports Science and International Relations, their success is a testament to how fully they have embraced every opportunity during their time at Oakham. We are delighted to see them now embarking on their exciting next chapters." 

Congratulations to all the pupils that opened their exam results yesterday and best of luck from the Oakham Nub News Team for those waiting for their GCSE results next week.
