London Oratory School 'Absolutely Delighted' by A Level Results


Array of A* and A grades sends many sixth formers to leading universities

"We are absolutely delighted with the A level results," said Dr Gary Howells, senior master at London Oratory. "The results are a great reflection on the hard work of the sixth formers and their teachers.

"This year group has been a real pleasure to work with. "They've made full use of our enhanced study facilities and we are delighted that our sixth formers have secured university places with many embarking on highly competitive courses at leading universities

Patrick Dunne at London Oratory School with A Level results

Among the high flyers is Patrick Dunne, who is off to Cambridge to study history after gaining A* in economics, A in history and A in English.

Patrick, from Putney, is going to St John’s – a 500-student college steeped in its own history as it was founded in 1511.

“It’s certainly different to this place; it’s very grand and beautiful. History is my favourite subject, the one I enjoy most."

For Pierre-Thomas Eckert, attaining A*, A and A grades in French, maths and Spanish was a huge achievement, as he has only been in the UK for four years, and says his English was patchy whe he arrived. Total immersion in the language means he is now fluent, and greatly looking forward to going to Exeter University to study maths and Spanish.

Others celebrating included Tom Liddy, who achieved A*, A and A grades in English, history and economics- more than enough to secure his place to study history at Manchester. Two other ‘A*, A and A’ pupils were good friends Louis Treneman and Jeremy Ansbro, who will now both go to Durham – though studying in different colleges.

Louis will study economics and Jeremy study Spanish and economics, which includes an Erasmus year in Spain.

He says he has loved his years at London Oratory. "It’s been really good here," he said. "I’ve been here seven years, and a lot of the subject teachers have made my time here really special."
