A summary of results can be found below. If you are interested in a more detailed breakdown on results by subject and gender click on the following links:

Year 11

Year 12

Year 13

Key Stage 5 (A level and equivalent)

There were 31 A* grades at Beaumont, shared between 21 students and 14 subjects

Beaumont also had 14 (10%) of our most able students studying the International Baccalaureate, producing some impressive results that are not shown in the percentage A* - C grades above but are included in the average points scores below. (Hence the % A* & A are somewhat suppressed by this)

90% of students gained entry to a University of their choice (including 75% gaining their 1st choice)

QCA (The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority) allocate a points to each grade at A-level as follows: A*-300, A -270, B – 240, C- 210, D- 180, E – 150.  All the points all of the students achieve are added together and an average for all of the students is worked out.  For Beaumont this year the average total was 831, and the results of boys and girls were very similar.  Parents and students should be aware that this total does not include General Studies which is not a compulsory subject in Beaumont.

The average points per entry indicates the average grades achieved by students.  Our average of 226 is  between a B and C grade.

The QCA figures are published in national league tables but are not used by universities (UCAS) who have their own system for allocating points to grades.  These are more important for students as they will determine universities they will be able to attend.  The UCAS system is: E – 40, D- 60, C- 80, B – 100, A – 120

The UCAS system gives more weighting to the top grades e.g. in the UCAS system an A is worth three times as many points as an E, but in the QCA system an A is worth less than twice as much as an E. We have included the UCAS points here for purposes of comparison.

Beaumont school is delighted to report on another outstanding set of examination results.  At both A level and GCSE the results show excellent levels of both attainment and achievement (progress made).  This continues a long standing tradition of academic excellence.  The sixth form numbers continue to grow as do the numbers of students continuing to the university of their choice.  The government is aiming to focus on the higher achieving students as well as the 5+ A*-C including English and Mathematics measure that has been the key statistic over the past few years.  We have therefore included extra detail amongst the headlines.
