A Levels 2024 — Sheffield Girls’ Class of 2024 Celebrate Phenomenal A Level Results

The 2024 cohort’s results are amongst some of the best ever achieved at Sheffield Girls’, as they retain their position as one of the top independent schools in the North. These results are even more impressive as national mark schemes and grade boundaries return to pre-Covid levels with an expectation of decline in top results, with their girls achieving 59% A*-A grades compared to the national average of 28%.

This year, 27% of grades were A*, compared to the national average of 9%. Sheffield Girls’ celebrated 59% of grades A*-A and 82% A*-B, with a 100% pass rate across the board. Nine students also achieved straight A*s, which is 12% of the cohort.

Five of Sheffield Girls’ students are heading off to courses at Oxbridge with a further 36 students moving onto competitive courses at Russell Group institutions. These university places and exam results are testament to the outstanding dedication and hard work of every student and teacher throughout the past two years.

Head, Nina Gunson, said: “Congratulations to the class of 2024! We wish you all the best of luck as you embark on the next exciting stage of your academic journey.”

This year, no less than 10 of Sheffield Girls’ A Level subjects achieved more than 75% A*-A grades. The students have seen particular success across STEM and MFL subjects, all of which are popular subject choices for many of our Sixth Formers. With national uptake in MFL subjects on a steady decline, these results and destinations show that this national trend is not the case Sheffield Girls’, where languages remain a thriving part of our curriculum. There was also inordinate success this year across STEM subjects, with particular uptake in university engineering courses and six students embarking on exciting degrees in this area.

Finally, it’s also important to recognise that Sheffield Girls’ academic achievements sit alongside a multitude of other achievements and accolades. Parent and School Governor, Ger Graus, acknowledged that this morning, commenting ‘that enabling, that empowerment, is what a good school does. It’s about more than exams. It’s about knowing the child beyond the number. And that’s what this school does best.’
