Channing girls enjoy A Level exam success!

Channing students are celebrating a stellar set of A level results this summer, with 23% of grades awarded at A* and 88% at A*-B. Of particular note is the huge jump to 68% in the total number of A*-A grades, up from 54% in 2023. Many subjects have achieved a full set of results at A*-B grade, including Art, Geography, History of Art and Politics, while our English and Latin teachers are celebrating 100% of their students achieving A* or A.

Six students will be heading off to Oxbridge colleges this Autumn including Head Girl Imani Mokal-Russell, who has been at Channing from Reception and will be reading English at Trinity College, Cambridge. Her fellow Head Girl, Flora Oppenheimer, will be joining Kingston University for an Art Foundation course, having been singled out as one of the UK’s top performers in OCR’s A Level Art and Design: Fine Art exam.

Testament to the school’s commitment to inspiring students to find and pursue their own individual passions, Channing students will be taking up places on a wide range of courses at world class universities. As well as Computer Science, Medicine, Natural Science, Law, History, English, Classics, Modern Languages, Politics, Economics and Geography, girls will be studying Aeronautical Engineering, Environmental Biology, Neuroscience, Liberal Arts, Business Management, Film, Photography & Media, Archaeology, Architecture, and Philosophy & Sociology.

In addition to Oxford, Cambridge and leading medical schools, Russell Group universities feature prominently in the list of destinations with the University of Leeds being the favourite this year. Other top choices include Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Warwick, Edinburgh and York, to name just a few. This year’s overseas offers include Sciences Po, Paris (ranked second worldwide for Politics (QS, 2024), and the University of California (UCLA).

Lindsey Hughes, Headmistress, is full of praise for her Year 13 cohort and their teachers alike:
“I am delighted to congratulate all our students and their teachers for these incredible results. This is a stunning achievement and is the direct result of all their hard work and dedication. Exam grades don’t tell the whole story and what pleases us just as much as the girls who achieve the strings of top grades are those students who have enjoyed significant personal triumphs, and whose hard-fought exam results are enabling them to go on to do what they want to do at the institution of their choice.

I wish all our leavers every success in their next steps, wherever they may take them, and look forward to welcoming them back to Channing over the next few years to share their experiences and inspire future generations of students.”
