A Level Results 2025
We are delighted with the excellent results gained by our students in this year’s A Level examinations.
The success of our students in reaching their destinations of choice is particularly pleasing.
Of students who applied for University places 196 students have been offered their first choice. 9 students attained Oxbridge places and 22 students will be undertaking Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science.
58 students achieved all A*/ A grades, an outstanding achievement.
We have also been really pleased with the success of our students in attaining graduate apprenticeship courses.
It is evident that the hard work of our students during their time at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School has been rewarded by these A Level results.
The achievements of the students also reflect the dedication of our teachers and the quality of the support provided by our whole staff team.
We are extremely proud of every one of our students and we would like to congratulate them all on their achievements and wish them well in their future endeavours.
The Sixth Form Team at Clitheroe Royal Grammar School have once again shown why the school is one of the top centres to study A Levels in the region.
