A private school has celebrated the academic prowess of its pupils in light of their recent exam grades.

Warwick Academy noted that results included International Baccalaureate, Business and Technology Education Council and IGCSE exams.

David Horan, the principal, said that the scope of their achievements went “far wider” than exam results.

He added: “It is very easy to focus on the statistics when we make this announcement.

“However, we must recognise that, whilst these are important, they often hide the real achievements and fundamental value of what all of them have been doing.

“This would include their significant contributions to sports, music, drama, community service, clubs, leadership posts and other initiatives whilst making sure their academics were in the right place.

“These are wonderful young people who will do great things.”

Mr Horan said that all members of the graduating year secured places in one of their top-choice universities, with 95 per cent getting into their first-choice university.

He said that the graduating year showed “a healthy variety” in university admissions and courses of study.

He attributed this to the school’s academic diversity, university advice, teaching expertise and student ability.

Mr Horan added that, for the sixth year in a row, Warwick Academy’s IB pupils had a 100 per cent pass rate with an average point score of 35.76 out of 45 — compared with the global pass rate of 81 per cent with an average point score of 30.58 out of 45.

The school also welcomed a full pass rate in its IB Career-related Programme and an average point score of 24 in its IB Individual Subjects pathway.

Mr Horan said that 94 per cent of the school’s Year 11 class achieved at least five grades at C/4 and above in their IGCSE exams, with 45 per cent receiving A*/A and 9/8/7 grades.

In comparison, 68 per cent of pupils in Britain receive IGCSE grades at C/4 or higher, with 23 per cent receiving A*/A and 9/8/7 grades.

Mr Horan thanked the parents of pupils who helped them through their studies.

He added: “We know how much work goes into the build-up to final examinations and once again, I extend my congratulations on a job well done.”
