Exeter School’s 2025 sixth form leavers returned yesterday to share in the celebration of their A Level and BTEC results, reflecting on personal goals achieved, challenges overcome, and the character that defines our school. At A Level, more than half of all grades were either an A* or A with 83% of all grades being A*, A or B. At BTEC, 100% of all grades recorded are at Distinction* or Distinction.
Head Ms Louise Simpson said: “A Level and BTEC qualifications continue to pave the way for our leavers’ next steps to university, degree apprenticeships and the world of work. It is especially rewarding in my final year at the school to see so many of the outgoing Upper Sixth secure their chosen university place, including at Oxbridge and within the Russell Group.”
