A Level Results 2022

Wellington College’s class of 2022 have good reason to feel pleased with their A Level results they received this morning, as a quick breakdown of their grades shows; from the 120 candidates who sat A-levels:

• 37.4% of grades were A*
• 74.5% of grades were A* or A
• 94.8% of grades were A*-B
• 51 pupils secured A*AA or better, while 22 achieved A*s across the board.

The Deputy Head Academic, Benjamin Evans, had this to say:

“I am delighted that the hard work of pupils and teachers has been rewarded. Wellington College’s A level results are very pleasing, representing a significant improvement from 2019 (the last time formal exams were taken), with more top grades than were achieved in 2020. All members of the community have displayed genuine fortitude and resilience during the last two years and this group of young adults realise that obstacles exist to be overcome and that challenges are to be met head on. As a community, we have not wavered in our understanding that though the path to success never runs smooth, the rewards of commitment to academic study are far more profound than can be measured by grades. We wish the class of 2022 every success for the next stage of their journey.”

James Dahl, the Master of Wellington, was delighted with the results and commented.

“I am so proud of all our Upper Sixth graduates and their results are the product of a phenomenal team effort between staff and pupils. We must not forget that this year group also produced Performing Arts of professional quality, were national finalists – and even champions – in numerous girls’ and boys’ sports and were simply a delight to have around the College, contributing so generously and leading so effectively both internally and with numerous external partnerships. They were a brilliant cohort who deserve every success.”

Wellington College is one of the few schools in the UK that offers its Sixth Form pupils the choice between A-levels and the International Baccalaureate, and when the A Level and IB results are combined – to give a holistic picture of how the entire Upper Sixth cohort performed – the statistics make for impressive reading

• 47% of grades were A* or 7
• 84% of grades were A*/A or 7/6
• 97% of grades were A*-B or 7-5

Many congratulations to all the pupils who worked so hard and who can look back on their time at Wellington with real satisfaction.
