The Perse regularly achieves some of the best 'A' level results of any co-educational school in the country. We are usually in the top 50 of most league tables, and in an average year about half of all Sixth Form pupils will achieve three A grades or better at ‘A’ level. In recent years around 90% of our 'A' level entries have been awarded at either A or B grade.
We encourage our brightest students to stretch themselves by sitting Advanced Extension Awards (AEAs), and in 2007 three quarters of our AEA entries achieved the highest grade – distinction.
Our pupils also excel at GCSE where over 80% of entries are 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 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.
