A Level and GCSE Results 2023

Cobham Hall celebrates our Year 13 students who secured a host of excellent A Level grades and places at some of the UK’s top universities; 90% were offered places at their first choice destination, more than one-third of which are at prestigious Russell Group universities.

Their performance was particularly pleasing in the context of this 2023’s nationwide return to 2019 pre-COVID grading norms, wiping out the significant grade inflation seen across the last three years. Astonishingly, the proportion of Cobham Hall grades falling in the all-important A*- C band has increased year on year to an excellent 81%, despite 2023’s significant toughening of grade boundaries and standards. Our students also passed every single subject they took, with this 100% pass rate again an improvement on 2022.

Additionally, 100% of Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) students earned A*-C grades, with 61% achieving A*/A, reflecting the high regard for this course by universities.
