Pupils Celebrate Top Grades in Public Exams 2024

Abigail and Madeleine Dawes, Class of 2024, were both Academic and Music Scholars, as well as representing LEH in the first lacrosse team. They each achieved four A* grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and Maths, Biology and Chemistry respectively. 

Overall, the Class of 2024 achieved 77% A*-A, with 81% being admitted to their first-choice of further education courses. They have left LEH to take up places at a wonderful array of institutions and courses, including Architecture at Bath, Veterinary Medicine and Natural Sciences at Cambridge, Sports Science, Coaching and Physical Education at Loughborough, Motorsport Engineering at Oxford Brookes, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine and Experimental Psychology at Oxford, History of Art at Edinburgh, and Music at some of the UK’s leading Conservatoires.

The incoming Lower Sixth have also filled us with pride with an exceptional 97% of their grades being at 9-7, which in old terminology represents A*-A grades, and 66% of all grades achieved being 9s.

The year group achieved remarkable results across core GCSE subjects, with 95% of English Language, 93% of Maths, and 92% of Biology exams achieving grades 8-9. In the wider curricular, a number of subjects achieved 100% of 8-9 grades, including Geography, Music and Drama.

LEH Headmistress, Rowena Cole, said: “This is an excellent set of results across the board. Everyone at LEH feels great pride and we are delighted that our pupils’ hard work and the fantastic expertise and support of our teachers has been rewarded with the highest marks.

“Results are an important enabler for the future, but they are, of course, only ever a part of the story. Our pupils have achieved impressive results while fully embracing all aspects of life at LEH and playing a big part in the culture and community of our school. We will watch our newest graduates with pride and look forward to the role they will continue to play at LEH as part of our amazing alumnae community.”
