A Level Results 2024
This year, once again, the highest three grades – A*, A and B – proved the norm for Eltham College students, with no fewer than 91% of results falling within this top bracket. Indeed, more than two-thirds (68%) of grades were awarded at A*/A, while 29% of results attained the exceptional A* grade.
Fine performances across a full range of subjects saw almost one in every seven students (15%) achieve an outstanding suite of at least A*A*A* in their results. Unsurprisingly, the majority of students secured places at their first-choice university, including Oxbridge and Russell Group institutions.
Every student holding an offer for Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Medicine achieved the results needed to secure their place, as did those heading on to study Mathematics. The arts also yielded places at first-choice institutions following exceptional results. In Art, no fewer than 83% of grades were at A* level; in Drama, more than half (53%) were likewise A*, and there was a clean sweep of A grades in Music. With our linguists similarly seeing 94% of their grades fall in the top A*/A tier, all those set to continue language study secured their university place, while geographers, too, were all smiles, after 90% of their grades reached A*/A.
Many Eltham College students secured a place at top universities like Oxbridge, Imperial College, Edinburgh, Bristol, Durham and Exeter to name a few. Watch below our students’ interviews where they share their enthusiasm and plans for the future.

We’re incredibly proud of Atharv, who secured his place at the University of Oxford to study Physics with all A* grades—just before heading to Brazil as one of five students chosen to represent the UK at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2024.
We are so pleased to celebrate Liv, our former Head Girl, who secured her place to study Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.
She is one of nine students embarking on the journey to study Medicine, Dentistry, and Veterinary Medicine.
Our former Head Boy, Ezana, is among the eight exceptional Eltham College students setting off to Oxbridge this year.
Now about to begin his adventure at the University of Oxford studying Biology, listen as Ezana shares his enthusiasm for what lies ahead.
Spotlight on Phoebe, one of many Eltham College students for whom success in the arts has proved the perfect complement to other subjects, opening doors at top universities to courses as diverse as Law, Physics, Psychology and Aeronautics.
Phoebe’s A* in Drama is taking her to Edinburgh to study Biology!
We are delighted to see so many students heading off to top universities like Oxford, Durham, and Exeter to study science.
Nkosie, who will soon study Natural Sciences at Durham University, shares his excitement about what he’s most looking forward to in his academic adventure. What a promising future lies ahead for our students!
We are incredibly proud of our Ukrainian students Karina and Arina who, after fleeing the war in their homeland, secured their first-choice university places with support from the Eltham College community.
Karina is now off to the University of Nottingham to study Veterinary Medicine, and Arina will be studying Business, Management, and Economics at the University of Sussex.
We are delighted to celebrate our mathematicians, who not only excelled in their A Levels but also secured places at top universities.
Among them are Alice and Oles, who are off to the University of Oxford and Imperial College, each achieving a stellar 4 A*s.
Watch Oles’ interview where he shares his enthusiasm and plans for the future.
We are excited to share that six of our students are heading off to top universities to pursue their love for History. Among them is Ellie, who is going to the University of Bristol with a fantastic set of A* and A grades.
We are proud of Daniel, one of the students among the 80% who achieved A*-A in Drama.
This year, Daniel was selected to join the prestigious National Youth Theatre course and even took a day off from the programme to collect his excellent A Level results last week.
His hard work has paid off, securing his place at his first-choice university, Warwick, to study Drama.
Exam success is only part of the story for busy Eltham College students.
We pride ourselves on nurturing all-rounders like Adem, who excel academically and on the sports field.
A key player in our 1st XV rugby team, Adem is now headed to the University of Bath to study Structural and Architectural Engineering after achieving a clean sweep of A*s.
GCSE Results 2024
Year 11 students at Eltham College celebrated an exceptional set of GCSE results, up against last year’s on every measure.
More than one-third (38%) of all results were at the highest grade, grade 9, with a further 28% awarded grade 8 – two-thirds (66%) of grades thus being equivalent to an A* under the previous system, a seven-point improvement over 2023’s already excellent performance. Crucially, almost 9 in every 10 awards (88%) reached the all-important grade 7 to 9 tier (formerly A*/A), a results day record for the school (outside non-examined COVID times) since the implementation of numbered grades.
This fine achievement from the school’s last-ever boys-only cohort marked a fitting start to a new era for Eltham College, which will be co-educational in all year groups from September. The boys left an extraordinary legacy: almost a quarter of them achieved a clean sweep of grades 9 and 8, while across the whole cohort, more grade 9s were scored than any other single grade. No fewer than 50% of all Mathematics results were graded 9, with tremendous performances also seen in languages (47% grade 9), Physics (48% at grade 9), History (48% grade 9) and Art, where 54% achieved grade 9 and every single result fell into the A* equivalent, 8 to 9 tier. Watch our students’ interviews where they share their excitement for the future.
