A Level Results 2025

MCS pupils celebrating their A Level Results this morning

Pupils at Magdalen College School are celebrating an excellent set of A Level results. The school is delighted to report that 93% of grades were awarded at A*-B, with 79% at A*-A and 40% at A*. In addition, 38 pupils (around a quarter of the year) attained 3 A*s or more, with 31 achieving 4 A*s or more and 7 achieving 5 A*s. All pupils in receipt of full bursaries achieved grade A* or A in all their subjects.

Pupils will be heading to some of the UK’s top universities including Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial to read subjects ranging from Aerospace Engineering to Theology. 13 pupils will be studying medicine or dentistry, while 24 pupils have won places at Oxbridge or Ivy League universities.

Master Helen Pike said: “Congratulations to our pupils on their outstanding A level results. These achievements reflect months of dedication and hard work, and we are delighted to see their efforts rewarded with superb outcomes and remarkable university offers. We are equally proud of all they have given to life beyond the classroom, and grateful for the substantial contribution they have made to our school and wider community, supported throughout by the encouragement and guidance of their teachers and parents. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this exceptional group of young people and wish them every success in the years ahead.”
