After years of hard work and months of revision, Mount Kelly is celebrating the A Level successes of its class of 2024 pupils.
Over 85% of pupils have been accepted at their first choice of university in the UK and overseas, with 43% achieving places at world class Russell Group, Bath, St Andrews and Loughborough universities.
Year 12 pupils who have taken EPQs (Extended Project Qualifications), equivalent to 50% of an A Level, have also shone with 94% achieving A and A* grades.
Head Master, Guy Ayling said, “We couldn’t be prouder of our pupils who have excelled themselves in so many ways.
“Mount Kelly has again surpassed the national percentage of school leavers going to their first-choice of UK university and it is wonderful to see how well our school has prepared pupils for the next step of their exciting life journeys. Our continuing excellent EPQ results have also undoubtedly helped our pupils secure their university places.
“Across the board we see the UK independent school sector continuing to deliver the highest proportion of A grades and above. But grades aside, it is the diversity of career choices our pupils are going into that shows we are continuing to deliver a well-rounded education, alongside our high achieving sporting and outdoor activities.”
