Head of RGS Guildford, Dr Cox, shared his delight for the Class of 2023 commenting “[They] have not only contributed so much to the life of the School but who have also achieved an outstanding set of A Level results. The most common grade achieved by RGS students was the A* grade; 81 students achieved a clean sweep of grades at A or A*, 37 of those achieved 3 or more A* grades: an incredible achievement in the current climate”.
“Their hard work, dedication and scholarship have been tested to the full and they have emerged with results – and a work ethic, passion for learning, and range of skills including our Learning Habits – of which they can be rightly proud and which will set them up for the next phase of their education”.
In terms of university entrance, of those boys holding conditional offers to study at UK universities, the vast majority secured their firm or insurance places on the most competitive courses at the leading institutions in the country, predominantly at their first-choice institution. This is all the more impressive as well over 90% of the firm offers made were to one of The Times Top 20 ranked universities with Bath, Bristol, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter and Oxford continuing to be the most popular destinations for our students.
