EXAM RESULTS

GCSE and A-level performance has been amongst the best in the South West for a good number of years, establishing West Buckland as the highest performing co-educational boarding school in the South West peninsula.

Our first-class teaching and personal support, alongside outstanding HE advice, frequently enables them, often, to surpass their own expectations.

A-Levels

A-level performance has been consistently excellent over many years and we have a strong track record in helping our students get to some of the best universities.

This is particularly impressive taking into consideration the breadth of entry into our Sixth Form, with the school welcoming students who can aspire to five of more Grade 5s at GCSE results for entry into the Sixth Form.

Our approach is certainly not influenced by any attempt to maximise our position in the so-called ‘league tables’. The focus is always on personal development of each child, enabling them to push themselves just enough to reach their maximum potential.
