Examination Results 2024
From the Executive Headteacher – Mr. Alan Gray
We were delighted with the GCSE, BTEC and A Level outcomes this year, reflecting the dedication of our lovely senior students throughout their two years of examination studies leading to Level 2 and Level 3 awards. The outcomes are very strong at GCSE and A Level and significantly above National benchmarks. Both results days were a time of celebration as students realised that their hard work and effort had been rewarded with exceptional grades. As a result, they have been able to progress to the next steps in their lives, either in the sixth form at Sandringham, College or University for the upper sixth form. Some have chosen to take a gap-year whilst others are choosing to embark upon Degree Level Apprenticeships.
The results below give headline figures for performance. However, the real story is with each individual, and their personal successes. I would like to thank all staff at Sandringham, and those in our partner schools at Beaumont and Verulam, for helping young people achieve so highly and realise their dreams in moving forward. Well done everyone!
