Exam results
For A Level results, please see our sixth form results pages.
Our pupils also excel at GCSE and in recent years nearly 90% of entries have been graded at A* or A. This is a significant achievement as we require all pupils to study three separate sciences rather than the less demanding dual award option, and many I/GCSEs in Maths and French are sat a year early.
League tables and bare exam results do not do full justice to a Perse education. They measure absolute performance rather than relative pupil progress and many of our greatest pupil success stories involve students who have overcome significant problems and self doubt to turn Ds into B grades.
