Congratulations to Ringwood School Class of 2025

Ringwood School students are reaping the rewards of their commitment and ambitious approach to their studies today as they come into school to receive their A-Level results. This morning has been full of proud moments from the first envelope opened to the last as we celebrate not just academic excellence, but the growth and resilience each that student has shown during their time in our sixth form. Students have been keen to share their successes with each other; their families who have supported them and of course their teachers who they have been able to thank for guiding them through their courses over the last two years. 

There have been many top grades this year. An amazing 7.2% of the cohort got all A*s or As (including 4 students with straight A*s) and 65% of students got AAB or higher. Students have seen particular success in facilitating subjects (the traditional A-Level subjects) with nearly one in five students on these courses securing at least AAB. Early calculations suggest that the school has retained a very strong rating from ALPs (a national progress measure for A-Level), which puts Ringwood School amongst the strongest Post 16 providers nationally. The school’s ‘value added’ performance has matched last year which was “Above Average” on the Department for Education’s Performance Tables.

We are a sixth form that is proud to offer vocational options alongside our more traditional A-Level subjects. These qualifications have also continued to deliver significant success with an average grade in these subjects once again being a Distinction (equivalent to an A-Level Grade A).

These results open doors to exciting futures, whether at university, in apprenticeships, or in the world of work. We couldn’t be more delighted to see our students stepping into the next stage of their lives with such a strong foundation behind them. Ringwood School students will be scattered across the county as degree courses begin over the next month. The Class of 25 are going to a wide range of institutions from St Andrews to Plymouth; Cardiff to Kings College; Manchester to Southampton and Bangor to Surrey. Just as varied is their choice of subjects. From the very traditional - Computer Science Maths, Physics, Psychology, Economics and Business, Geography, English and History- to the more modern - Medical Imaging, Diagnostic Radiography, Games Design, Musical Theatre and Film Making, and Earth Sciences, Resource and Exploration- which is a degree seeking to find solutions to current global challenges including climate change, natural hazards, and especially the supply of critical raw materials.

Some students have chosen to take up degree apprenticeship opportunities instead, including the highly sought after degree apprenticeship programme with JP Morgan.

We wish all of our leavers the very best for the future and looks forward to seeing their continued successes in the years to come.
