Academic Results
The high standard of achievement of our pupils and the inspirational teaching by our staff mean that our A-level and GCSE results are exceptionally high. We are proud of the fact that the school is consistently placed among the top schools in the country.
Three-quarters of our A-level results are regularly A or B grade and the vast majority of our leavers go on to university, many of them to the most competitiive institutions, including 10-12% each year to Oxford and Cambridge. Over 70% of GCSE entries achieve one of the top two grades, A* or A.
In September 2009, based on our A-level results, The Sunday Times ranked LRGS as the best boys’ state school in the North West.
2009 results
A-Level
This was another very successful year for A-levels, with the overall results just a whisker behind the record set in 2008. The statistics show that 51% of all grades achieved were grade A, with 77% gaining one of the top two grades A and B.
At the top end, 35 of the boys gained four A grades or better, and there was good news for the 18 boys holding Oxbridge offers. In a year in which university entry was particularly strongly contested, all but a handful of the boys were successful in confirming their places.
GCSE
At GCSE, 97% of all the entries achieved C grade or better, with 25% gaining the top A* grade. Eight of the boys gained ten A* grades or better, and 48 achieved ten */A grades or better.
