Outstanding Sixth Form Results
Many congratulations to Ardingly’s Class of 2025 on achieving excellent A-Level, IB Diploma and BTEC results this summer! A fantastic 25% of A Level and IB grades were at the top A* or 7 grades respectively, with 60% scoring at the top two grades of A*-A or 7-6.

Our cohort who took the IB Diploma this summer have achieved a remarkable average of 40.1 (compared to a global average of 30.58) which puts Ardingly in the top 5 schools in the UK and makes us the highest ranked co-educational boarding school in the country for the IB Diploma.
Ardingly also offers BTECs, a more vocational qualification, in two subjects and we are delighted that, once again, 100% of our BTECs were graded at the top two grades of Distinction* and Distinction.

Ardingly Achieves Record-breaking GCSE Results
Ardingly’s Year 11 students are celebrating achieving some fantastic GCSE results! A remarkable 76% of all grades were awarded the top grades of 9-7 (the equivalent of the previous A* and A grades) and the average grade achieved by our students was 7.41, which is our highest ever for a non-Covid year.
