RESULTS, DESTINATIONS, &  CAREERS

We are justifiably proud of our examination results and university destinations, but these are by no means the only measure of our success. Our latest full inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate team, praised many excellent features in our high quality provision.

In addition to the excellent academic, creative arts and sporting activities, the location of our school enables us to provide an exciting, adventurous and diverse array of extra-curricular activities that all pupils are encouraged to participate in.

A Level Results 2024

Ryde School pupils can be very proud of the 2024 A Level and IB exam results.

This cohort attained 63% of grades at A*- B which bettered last year’s excellent results.  

The IB Diploma Programme grades issued earlier in the summer also outperformed last year’s grades with an average score of 33 points, also above the global average. 

The IB Career-related Programme grades were particularly impressive with 65% pupils achieving a distinction or better in the BTEC part of their programme.

There are some outstanding individual A Level performances to celebrate:

  • Hugh Wilson (Head Boy) achieved four A*s and will go to King's College London to study Maths and Philosophy.
  •  Alena Yablonskaya will head off to Royal Holloway to study Economics and Management after gaining an A*, two As and a B.
  • Jack Gravez achieved an A* and two As and will go on to study Economics at Exeter.
  • Thomas Nash gained three As and a B, and Charles Palfrey three A grades.
  • Arlo Lynwode-Gorham and Joe Wray will both be heading to the prestigious Central St Martin’s to study Art degrees.

Nearly all pupils who sat A Levels leave today with a university place. 

The vast majority of pupils who took either of the IB programmes achieved their first choice university offer.

There were some excellent individual achievements in the IB Diploma Programme:

  • Eveline Fèvre attained a grade 6 in five of her subjects and Zara Taylor achieved a grade 6 in four of her subjects, both will be taking a gap year before heading to Liverpool to study Zoology and Environmental Science respectively.
  • In the IB Career-related Programme, Edward Bayliss, Edison Bucknor, Toby Lavell, Freya Lovell-Kaye and Charles Olmsted all achieved more than 160 UCAS points (the equivalent of A*A*A at A Level). 

Three Years Exam Results

"We are delighted with the results this cohort has achieved. They are a reflection of the hard work the pupils have put in over the past two years and the professionalism and dedication of their teachers. As ever, the wide range of university destinations among this year group reflects the diverse interests of our pupils and how the School nurtures each individual and their ambitions. We have pupils heading off to study traditional degree courses such as English, History, Geography, Law, Economics, Psychology, Modern Languages, Maths, Engineering and Sciences while others have gained places to study the likes of Journalism and Media, Zoology, Interior Design, and Football Coaching and Management.

All of us at Ryde School wish our leavers all the best as they move on to pastures new."

- Will Turner, Headmaster

Careers

Students in the Sixth Form develop their aspirations at differing paces so we refine the process of the more advanced and encourage those who may need more help to understand that a decision will need to be made.

In the Spring Term of the Lower Sixth PD sessions are career, progression and life-skill related. Visits to career fairs and university or work-related events are also arranged and the mechanics of UCAS applications is dealt with by the Sixth Form tutor team but we advise where necessary.


Destinations of Leavers

At Ryde we pride ourselves on bringing out the best in our pupils and helping them to optimise talents and interests. Consequently our leavers’ destinations are interesting and varied.

We send pupils to Oxbridge, other Russell Group Universities, UK and International universities and colleges, art, music and drama schools and over 90% of all pupils will get their first or second choice of destination.

Pupils also choose to take a gap year or go straight into employment, often following an apprenticeship or training course.

Course choices are as diverse as destinations:
