A Level Results 2016

Highcliffe School is celebrating an exceptional set of A Level results this year which have significantly improved for the second year running, bucking the national trend of declining grades in the same period.


This year’s A level examination results maintain the School’s position as a leading provider of Sixth Form education in the Christchurch, New Forest and Bournemouth area. Close to a third of the individual grades achieved by students were the prestigious A*/A grade, up from last year, while close to 60% of grades were between A* and B; both substantial improvements from last year's very good results and far higher than national results.

We are delighted to announce that the trend of gaining Oxbridge places every year continues. Our congratulations go to these three students and their exceptional achievements.

29% of all grades achieved were A*/A grades.
