“Given their GCSE results were teacher assessed and despite the exam regulators making a concerted effort to manage A-level grades downwards this year, Battle Abbey School is delighted to report a significant improvement in comparison with the pre-pandemic 2018-2019 results. Almost a quarter (22 per cent) of all grades are at A* while 91 per cent achieved A* to C grades with an overall pass rate of 99 per cent.
“Alongside our thriving EPQ and BTEC programme, the creative arts continue to be a school-wide strength with art, theatre studies and textiles departments all seeing A* to B across the board.
"Academic rigour can also be seen in our Latin results, with the entire cohort receiving an A grade while our mathematics department continues to be a fantastic strength for us with 100 per cent of our further maths cohort achieving A* to B. Several further departments saw 100 per cent of their cohort achieve A* to C grades.

Balthazar Blick secured A*A*A, Corbyn Smithers gained an A* grade and three A grades, as too did Felix Rodgers, George Jempson and Bertie Lambert. Dan Jones and Ameya Sangle achieved A grades across the board while Olly Dudman achieved an A* and two A grades.
“These results pay testament to the students' hard work and determination to succeed, and we wish them every success as they leave Battle Abbey School.”
