2023 A-Level and GCSE Successes
Raynes Park High School - Students’ Hard Work Rewarded
“A” Level Successes
Congratulations to the pupils at RPHS for their encouraging A level results.
The return to pre-pandemic assessments has led to a nation-wide fall in results, so it is a tribute to the work of the pupils, teachers and support staff that, when set alongside to the last comparable assessments, the 2019 results, the pupils achieved more highly in all areas, and a result, students have secured their desired places at universities, colleges, and vocational placements.
Merton’s GCSE Successes
Here are some of the highlights from Merton schools:
- Raynes Park High School – ‘strong’ pass grades at (5-9) in GCSE English and maths are in line with 2019, and the percentage of students achieving the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) has increased.
