Sutton High’s class of 2023 has shown true grit and determination in their 2023 A level results with 100% pass rate, two-thirds of students achieving grades A*-B and 92% of grades A*-C, beating the national average of 75.4%

Despite there being some 73,000 fewer A*s and As awarded this year compared with 2022, as exam boards sought to tackle years of grade inflation during Covid, Sutton High girls have excelled with a third of grades at the highest level, and will be heading off to an eclectic and exciting mix of destinations, each playing to her own strengths. Pupils have accepted places at a wide mixture of Russell Group, Times ‘Top 10’ and subject specialist universities across the country.

STEM subjects remain a popular choice, with pupils leaving to pursue Medicine at Keele, Biomedical Sciences at King’s College, London, Physics at Surrey, Biology at Nottingham, Psychology and Design at Loughborough, Maths at King’s College, London, and Design Engineering at Queen Mary’s, London. However, this year saw a rise in pupils interest in the economy and wider social sciences, with places accepted at City University for Economics, Finance and Business, Newcastle for Sociology and Politics, Birmingham for Criminology, Southampton for International Relations and Goldsmiths for Business Management.

“I am thrilled to see such a range of courses and destinations as we remain true to our aim of ensuring that each individual girl, forge her own path and is able to play to her strengths.” —  Beth Dawson, Head, Sutton High School

Pupils have also accepted places to study Equine Behaviour at Nottingham Trent, Midwifery at Surrey, Film-Making at UWE and Design for Performance at the Royal Welsh Academy of Music and Drama, with another pupil taking a gap year to be a Disney Princess at Disneyland before pursuing Musical Theatre!

Beth Dawson, Head, commented:

“I am thrilled to see such a range of courses and destinations as we remain true to our aim of ensuring that each individual girl, forge her own path and is able to play to her strengths.

“Our students are exceptionally well-prepared for the next step in their academic journey, not least through our award-winning careers service, which offers one-to-one UCAS support from application to acceptance and the completion of Extended Projects, where results this year were particularly high.

It is our ability to tailor our Sixth Form offer to each girl here which makes it such a special place to learn, and I wish all our girls the very best for the bright futures they have ahead of them. I know that they are the future ‘movers and shakers’ of the world”
