Orbital Education students achieve record-breaking A-Level results
We are thrilled to share the outstanding A-Level results across Orbital Education schools - there is much to celebrate, with exceptional school-wide achievements and individual successes.
Within the Orbital Education community, five schools follow the British National Curriculum at Sixth Form level, offering the A-Level programme:
- Britannica International School, Budapest
- Britannica International School, Shanghai
- Oryx International School, Doha
- Baleares International College, Sa Porrassa, Mallorca
- British International School Ljubljana
As a group, we have built on our already strong performance, achieving significant gains compared to last year. This year, 35% of results were awarded A*/A grades, up from 27%, while 80% of all results achieved grades A*–C, an increase from 69% last year.
We are especially proud to announce that Oryx International School, Doha have achieved their highest A-Level results to date, a remarkable milestone for an already high-achieving school.
We would also like to shine a spotlight on some outstanding individual students across these schools whose achievements have blown us away.
- Britannica International School, Shanghai – Atasi achieved A*A*A*A*, and Steven was awarded A*A*A* as well as AA at AS level.
- Britannica International School, Budapest - Napsugar achieved A*A*A*A*A* and Mark earned A*A*A*, while Sophie achieved A*AAAA
- Baleares International College, Sa Porrassa - Florian earned A*A*AA, and Victoria gained A*A*A
- British International School, Ljubljana - Milica was awarded A*A*A
- Oryx International School, Doha - Muhammad gained A*A*A*A* and Mohamed achieved A*A*A*
Their achievements, and the achievements of the cohort overall, become even more remarkable when you consider that A-Levels form part of the British National Curriculum, meaning the vast majority of our international students are taking these exams in a language that is not their mother tongue, yet still surpassing the average scores of native speakers.
A*/A grades achieved – global average 28.3% and the Orbital average is 34.5%
A* to C grades achieved – global average 77.9% and the Orbital average is 79.6%
Finally, we would like to share some highlights from across our schools:
