A Level Results 2024
In August 2024, Wimbledon High School GDST celebrated a stellar set of A level results, with A*s accounting for half of all grades and 31% of students achieving 3 A* grades or more. These represent the best results ever achieved by a cohort at Wimbledon High.
A* 51%
A* – A 81%
A* – B 92%
The vast majority of students secured places at their first choice of university, art college or degree apprenticeship, with 14 students heading to Oxford or Cambridge, including three choral scholars, four to the US (two on competitive sports scholarships). Nine will study medicine or veterinary science, and the rest to a vast array of degree courses across the UK, from Economics to Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies, Astrophysics to Japanese Studies and Sustainable Development to Computer Science.
Fionnuala Kennedy, Head of Wimbledon High School GDST, said:
“Congratulations to our magnificent Class of 2024: we knew they were a talented year group, but they have exceeded even their own high expectations. Their dedication to their studies is matched by their commitment to their co-curricular interests: international sportswomen in Amelie (a team GB hockey player), Maddie (a Team New Zealand gymnast) and Katie (heading to Cornell on a rowing scholarship); Oxbridge choral scholars in Estella, Alyssa and Phoebe.
“The young women we celebrate with today have given wholeheartedly to the school as student leaders and role models to their younger peers. We wish them all the very best and thank the teachers and pastoral tutors who have inspired and supported them. The even distribution of grades across all disciplines shows excellence across the board and I could not be prouder of our wonderful school.”

GCSE Results 2024
Wimbledon High School students today gathered with parents and staff in SW19 to collect what proved to be an impressive set of GCSE results, with 52.5% of grades a 9, and 79.4% of grades 9 – 8. Some 44% of students were awarded all 9s and 8s across a range of 23 subjects.
Grade 9 53%
9 – 8 80%
9 – 7 94%
The figures included particularly strong performances in departments: 100% grade 9 in Greek, 83% grade 9 in Latin, 76% grade 9 in Music, 73% grade 9 in Physics, 72% grade 9 in Mandarin and 70% grade 9s in French and Religious Studies.
Head Fionnuala Kennedy said:
“It’s been wonderful to welcome students and their families back to school and to see the pride they feel in having achieved such excellent results. It’s gratifying to see some of the smaller subjects really shine through – languages ancient and modern are thriving at Wimbledon High School, alongside STEM and the Humanities.
“The fact that over 79% of grades overall are what used to be an A* is testament to these students’ hard work and dedication. Looking at their A level choices it’s clear we have a strong cohort across all disciplines, who will relish the independence and rigour of the next stage of their education. We look forward to welcoming them into Sixth form early next month, alongside a number joining us from other schools.”
