We are delighted to report improved A Level results for Cranleigh School in 2025 with 83% of grades at A*- B, 50% of grades at A* – A, a quarter of all students achieving a clean sweep of A*/As and an overall pass rate of 100%.
Cranleigh’s Upper Sixth Formers have delivered the school’s strongest post-pandemic A Level performance, with 83% of grades at A*– B, an increase from 78% in 2024. 43% of students achieved two or more A* or A grades – up from 38% last year.
STEM subjects were a particular strength, with 63% of Mathematics students gaining A* or A and a combined A*/A rate of 60% across all maths and science courses. Economics also impressed with 70% at A*/A, while the Arts excelled with 86% in Art, 80% in Music and 78% in Drama. Notably, 96 of the 146 students in the cohort achieved A*– B across all their subjects.
Sam Price, Head at Cranleigh School said: “Congratulations to all our Upper Sixth students receiving their results today. I’m immensely proud of this year’s achievements, not just because they represent outstanding academic performance, but because they have been earned within the healthy, happy and balanced atmosphere we work so hard to create. At Cranleigh, we set our young people up for success without becoming highly selective — and with 83% of grades at A*– B, our results speak for themselves.”
She continued: “This is my first year leading Cranleigh, and I am hugely grateful to our dedicated staff for delivering exceptional teaching and support across every subject. We are unapologetically ambitious for our pupils, and what is most pleasing about these results is knowing that almost every student has achieved the grades they need to take up a place at their first-choice university. We have students going to the most prominent institutions in the UK, the vast majority being Russell Group universities as well as those following performing arts and apprenticeship routes. We wish them every success in the exciting journeys ahead.”
Most Sixth Formers at Cranleigh also complete an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) alongside studying for three A-Levels. Students create a longer piece of research typically culminating in a dissertation-style essay which helps to prepare them for university learning. EPQ results also improved from last year with 44% of pupils gaining A*/A and 76% of all EPQs graded at A*- B.
