Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate’s (QE) senior schools are celebrating a wave of excellent A Level, BTEC and GCSE results. Across the two schools, the combined percentage of A/A grades at A Level are 78%, with the percentage of BTEC Distinction and Distinction grades in QE Faculty reaching 73%. In addition, the Year 11 students across QE achieved 62% grades 7-9 in their GCSEs.
These results place QE College and QE Faculty as 1st and 2nd in Yorkshire in the Independent Schools Exam Results for A Levels, which was recently published in The Telegraph and The Times.
The same league table ranked QE College as the top independent school from the North of England for A Level and GCSE results, which follows suit with the Sunday Times Parent Power 2024 that confirmed QE College as the top school in the North of England for academic performance for a third year in a row.
QE Faculty, which offers bespoke performance pathways for sport and the arts, ranked 7th for academic performance in the North of England in the Sunday Times Parent Power 2024.
Principal of the Collegiate, Daniel Machin, said, “We are immensely proud of our Year 11 and Year 13 students – for their results, for the people they have become in their time with us at QE and for the well-rounded, resilient and ambitious adults they will go on to become. We prepare our students for their futures – our two senior schools exist to give a diverse choice of options for our students, to find the fit they need to succeed within their examination years, inside and just as importantly, outside the classroom. The whole of the Team QE community wishes them well on the next part of their journey.”
This year, a wide range of first choice university places were achieved at Oxford, Imperial College London, the London School of Economics, Durham, King’s College London, and University College London.
