Alderley Edge School for Girls is celebrating outstanding A Level results for its Upper Sixth students with 28% of grades awarded being an A*, 66% of students receiving an A* – A and 81% of students receiving A* to B.
This year, there have been a number of subject successes. As an Apple Distinguished School, the school is delighted that all students studying Computing achieved A* grades. There was also a clean sweep of 100% of A*s achieved in both German and French. 74% of students studying STEM subjects achieved A*- A, shining a light on the many benefits of an all-girls’ education.
Students studying A Level Economics, Further Maths, Geography, Government & Politics and Physics all received A* and A grades. It is the first year that Alderley Edge School for Girls has run Government & Politics as an A Level subject so the school is particularly proud of this statistic.
The school is also celebrating a number of individual successes including Sixth Form students, Amy Barnes and Charlotte MacDonald who both achieved 3A*s and an A. Amy will be reading Economics & Management at Bristol and Charlotte has accepted a place to read Computer Science at York.
On receiving her results, Amy said: “I am so relieved! I’m so happy and am looking forward to studying at Bristol. Charlotte added: “A massive thank you to all my teachers, I am so happy!”

This year’s Year 13 have been Young Enterprise finalists, The national winners of the School’s Mock Trials Competition and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards have also been achieved in the last two years.”
