A Level Results Day 2025

Pupils at St Peter’s School are celebrating their excellent A Level results.

We are delighted that almost one fifth of all grades were at A* with half of all grades at A* and A. With over three quarters of grades at A* to B our pupils have earned well-deserved acceptances to their university of choice.

29% of this year’s cohort, 41 pupils, achieved an exceptional three or more grades at A* and A with 11 pupils gaining three or more grades at A*.

The school is proud of the achievements of all pupils, and amongst the excellent results, there have been some outstanding individual performances.

Alice and John both achieved a clean sweep of four A* grades and both will be taking up places at Oxford. Alice will read Classics and we hope will further her talents in debating. John will read Ancient and Modern History and will be putting his musical, dramatic and sporting skills to good use. In other Oxbridge success, Katie is going to Cambridge to read History of Art with A*AA, having also won a national public speaking competition in the subject.

Georgie achieved four A* grades and moves on to the University of Bath to read Chemical Engineering. One of our boarders, Jimmy, is taking up his place at Imperial College London with four A*s, also to read Chemical Engineering. Harry will be furthering his love of mathematics at the University of Warwick where his four A* grades comfortably exceeded their challenging acceptance criteria.

Islay achieved an extraordinary five A Levels, all at grade A* and A, with her A* in Art being recorded by the exam board as one of the best in the country. She is now taking a well deserved gap year before heading off to university. Roman earned five A Levels at grade A* to B and is moving on to University College London to read Mathematics and continue his passion for rowing, having been part of the school crew who qualified for Henley this summer.

Tristan, Conor, Maisy, Cameron and Matthew all bagged at least three A* grades each and will be going on to destinations including Durham, UCL and Nottingham.

Whilst most Peterites go straight on to leading universities to study a wide variety of subjects, others choose different paths. Head of School Wills, having secured A*AA, has chosen to accept a professional contract from Yorkshire County Cricket Club and is heading to Australia. Mia is taking up her offer from a prestigious London drama school, Penelope is taking an Art Foundation course and others will be embarking on degree apprenticeships or taking places at highly competitive US universities.

As we celebrate the achievements of our A Level students, we also look to the future from a position of strength and confidence. With a vibrant community of 1300 pupils aged 2 to 18, St Peter’s stands as one of the largest independent schools in the region, underpinned by a secure financial foundation that enables us to navigate the wider challenges currently facing the sector. Our continued investment in the campus, classroom technology, the introduction of new academic opportunities such as A Level Psychology, and the enhancement of our extensive co-curricular programme reflect our commitment to providing an exceptional, all-round education. Whether on stage, in the concert hall, on the sports field or in the classroom, our pupils thrive in a community that values excellence, breadth and belonging.

Jeremy Walker, Head Master says:

“Congratulations to all of our pupils on their A Level results today.

They and their teachers should be very proud of the work they have put in over the last two years, and the results they have achieved.

Their A Level results give them the key to unlock higher education and exciting careers. They have also achieved so much more at St Peter’s, participating and excelling in a huge amount of activities including sport, music, drama, debating and social action. They have developed a strong set of values, confidence and leadership skills to ensure that they leave St Peter’s and make a positive impact on their world.

I wish all of our pupils the best of luck for the future and look forward to hearing of their many successes.”
