For more information visit: http://www.hamptonschool.org.uk/The-School/Academic/Exam-Results.aspx A Level Results for the year 2012-2013 were once again excellent: 31% of the mainstream grades were A*s (2012: 30%), 74.23% were at A*-A (2012: 74%) and 94.6% were at A*-B (2012: 96%). Thirty boys sat the Pre-U Exam in Physics, 18 of whom were graded D2, the equivalent of an A*, and 10 of whom received the even higher D1 rating. A Hampton boy achieved the top mark in the country. Nearly all leavers secured places at an elite university and thirty one Oxbridge offers were confirmed. The School’s results are significantly above the national figures and almost all Fifth Formers stay on in the Sixth Form. Every boy is encouraged in his Sixth Form career, whether perceived to be an academic “high-flier” or not. At GCSE in 2012-13, the School again achieved a fine set of results: 89.64% of the grades were A*s and As (2012: 91%), while the percentage of A* grades was 57.29% (2012: 56%). The national figure for A* grades for boys in 2013 was 5.3%. One boy achieved 11 A* grades, twenty achieved 10 and 14 achieved 9. A* grades accounted for over 57% of all grades awarded. There was a 99.89% A*-C grade pass rate. In Mathematics, Geography, Physics and Biology boys follow the more rigorous IGCSE courses. As well as GCSEs and IGCSEs, 94 boys sat the OCR Free Standing Mathematics Qualification. There is no A* grade for this qualification, but 85 boys received A grades.
