The Class of 2024 has achieved exceptional academic results, with over 20% of students attaining at least 4 A or A* grades at A level and obtaining the prestigious Sisu Award. This is equivalent to a 12.7/14 in the Spanish grading system or 39–40 points in the IB. Across the cohort, 47% of all the A-levels results were awarded A* or A grades, reflecting the dedication and hard work of our students. They will now be pursuing further studies at leading universities in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, the USA, and Italy.
