This year A-Level grades throughout the UK have been determined by teacher assessment, as the covid-19 pandemic casued schools to be closed from March and all summer assessments to be cancelled.

Speaking of his students’ success, College Principal Dr Julian Davies commented; ‘Once again Abbey College Cambridge students have excelled themselves. My heartiest congratulations for these amazing results and alll your hard work under unusual circumstances this year.  Once again our wonderful year 13 students will be heading to some of the best universities in the world such as Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial and UCL. It has been our pleasure to help guide you on this path.’ 

This year’s A-Level results follow on from a strong performance in their end of course exams by our International Foundation Programme students.
