A-Level Results Day
18 August 2022 is A-Level results day in the UK and while pictures of smiling teenagers jumping in the air and heart-warming individual success stories are great, some parents want to see numbers, too! So look no further for an initial ranking of London secondary schools based on their 2022 A-Level results. We report results here as they are released. This post will be updated continuously over the coming days and weeks as results are released. If you are looking for the top 100 secondary schools based on GCSE results, click here.
2022 marked the first year of A-level results based on public examinations since 2019. As last year, the highly selective King’s Maths School tops the table again. These 80 London schools have published their results so far. They are ranked by the percentage of A-Levels graded A* – the highest possible grade -where available, though a few schools that haven’t reported this number are included in the results for comparison based on their percentage of A* – A. Among private schools, Emanuel School in Clapham has reported its best ever A-level results. Other co-educational schools such as Alleyn’s and Harrodian School have also reported their best ever results, reflecting their increasing popularity.

Do Graveney results get published?
Graveney school had an A-A* percentage of 36.5% at A-levels in 2022, so they would not be in the top 100, probably around 150 or 200. They have not published their % of A* grades.
CLSG A* results are here: https://clsg.org.uk/learning/academic/exam-results/a-level/
Eltham College In A Levels 2022 , 44% of grades were A*, while 74% were either A*/ A. Nearly 90% of A Level grades were A*-B
St Olaves 37 oxbridge
St Olaves, At GCSE, 91.0% of the grades
secured by pupils were grades 9-7, with
51% being at 9 and 77% being at 9/8,
Oxbridge : 37
St olaves is in Orpington , London bough of bromley, should definitely be included
Clsg results: 56% of all papers awarded A*
How about Tiffin Boy school in Kingston?
When they publish % of A* and % of A-A* they will be included.
they have published
City of London girl has 36% of students achieving three A*s or more and 85% of all papers graded A* or A. Why not add in 36% to truly reflect your ranking if you are using A*s as your ranking criteria?
36% of students achieving three A*’s is not the same as 36% of all grades being A* – most likely their A* percentage is even higher but this number will be added when published.
Clsg results: 56% of all papers awarded A*
NLCS have published the result
https://www.nlcs.org.uk/senior-school-sixth-form/exam-results
Thank you! This has been updated.
Colfe’s has 36.5% 9s and 83.6% 9-7 Don’t recognise the 71% figure at all?
These are A-level results. I think you are giving percentages of GCSE grades. From the Colfe’s website: “88% of grades awarded were A*-B with 71% A*-A – eighteen students achieved straight A*..”
St Olave’s has 37 got into Oxbridge in 2022, it’s in the headmaster news letter
Godolphin & Latymer A level A* percentage now published: 60%.
Thanks!
Radnor House (soon to be Kneller Hall !) reporting :
A Level, the A-E pass rate was 99%, with 48% of the grades at A* and A, 75% A*-B and 96% A*-C.
Thanks!
How do state school Oxbridge places compare with private schools ones?
if you compare schools with equal exam performance, state schools get far more offers
Would St Alban’s consider as London?
Not really unfortunately. DAO is debateable too to be honest but included as still attended by many North Londoners
Where are the boarding schools as a lot of them will change the top 10 ranking… Wycombe, Cheltenham, St Mary’s Ascot….
This is an overview of LONDON based schools so will not include boarding schools outside of London by definition. It is not a UK ranking, just London. That said, many of the London schools dominate the top 100 UK rankings as well.
Hi, what are the percentages for Ibstock please? Thanks
So far they have only reported that 89.5% of entries were graded at A* – B, based on similar schools their A-A*% is likely around 65%.
Blackheath high A level A*- B is 86%,not A* -A
Thank you for spotting this, this makes more sense, it has been corrected.
Why St olave’s grammar is not on the list?
Because it is in Kent.
No St olaves is in Orpington, there’s newstead wood on your list, it’s also in Orpington
Why is Westminster School not on the list?
They have not published their results officially. Based on results we know, they would be #5 currently (probably #6 once SPGS release results).
Where is James Allen’s Girls’ School (JAGS)?
JAGS have not officially published their results yet, they’ll be added shortly.
Hi. Wilson’s has 33 going to Oxbridge this year.
Hi what Woodford county is not in the list ?
Not yet because they have not published their percentage of A-A* grades yet. Based on percentage of A*-B, they will likely be around #80. If you have the results, do share and they can be included.
Hi
Why hasn’t North London Collegiate School been added to the list ?
Thanks
NLCS have not published their results yet. Do share if you have them. They will be included as soon as published.
Probably because they are under investigation for over inflation of grades.
because its not good enough for the top 100?
Holland Park School results sent to parents are:
A* grades 25.6%
A*-A grades 54.2%
A*-B grades 76.8%
A*-C grades 90.4%
100% pass rate.
Thank you for sharing! Excellent results!
