A third of students achieved a remarkable 3 A*-A grades and the students’ destinations are as broad as the subjects they are choosing to study. from Sophie Phipson, who has secured a place on the prestigious BBC Production Apprenticeship and Yael Lyshkow, who will study Computer Science at Canada’s leading university, the University of Toronto – to Alexis Qi, a phenomenal art student who will study Architecture at Cambridge University.
STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) continue to be a popular choice with over 50% of the cohort of students studying Maths at A Level or IB. Students have met their offers to study courses including Veterinary Medicine at Royal Veterinary College, Biomedical Engineering at Kings College London, Medicine at Southampton and Medical Sciences at the University of Exeter.

Mrs Kate Reynolds, Head of Royal High School Bath, paid tribute to the 2022 cohort saying: “We are thrilled that this exceptional year group, with their first experience of public exams, have gained such strong results. It is testament to their hard work and determination and the inspirational teaching and support from staff.
Their students’ breadth of talent is reflected in the wonderfully varied range of destinations and courses they are now moving to, and we wish them every happiness and success. In addition to their academic achievements the year group fully embraced the wealth ofnenrichment and co-curricular opportunities available to them. We look forward to inviting them back to Royal High School Bath to share their stories and inspire future generations of Sixth Form students.”
