The results are very pleasing with almost all students securing their place at their first choice higher education institution. 63.7% A/B grades is the third highest set of results ever achieved by the school, and this reflects the hard work undertaken by both students and staff. The results compared with last year (75%A/B grades) are lower but still places Ripon Grammar School as one of the top performing schools in North Yorkshire.

Five students have achieved their Oxbridge offers.

20 students gained 3 A grades or better out of a year group of 100.

One student gained 5 grade A's and 2 distinctions in AEA (advanced extension awards) in chemistry and physics. He is going to Cambridge to study natural sciences.

GCSE

96.6% of the students achieved 5 A*-C grades, which is well above the national average, resulting in the majority of students being able to secure a place in the sixth form at Ripon Grammar School. Almost half the grades awarded were the top two grades, A*/A, and thirty one students secured nine A*/A grades out of the GCSE's they took. The results clearly place Ripon Grammar School as one of the leading schools in North Yorkshire.

The following students achieved 10 A*/A: K. Anderson, S. Bell, C. Burnett, B. Clancy, L. Duffield, L. Fox, H. Lincoln, J. May, S. Nabarro, K. Palmer, A. Pearman, A. Robinson, T. Robinson, E. Slack, S. Wallace, B. Wernyj.

Six students achieved one of the top five marks in their French GCSE and one achieved one of the top five marks in classical civilisation GCSE.

The departments which achieved above the A*/A average are maths, chemistry, electronic products, geography and statistics.

The record headline figure was the best average points score per pupil which was almost 500, the exact figure being 497.4. An A* is worth 58 points, an A grade 52 and so on.
