Ipswich School celebrates another year of outstanding A Level results

Over 130 students at Ipswich School achieved an average outcome equivalent to AAB in this year's A Level results, maintaining the independent school's nine-year streak as Suffolk's top performer.

Why it matters: The results continue the school's remarkable academic track record, with students securing places at world-renowned universities and launching careers across multiple sectors.

By the numbers:

  • More than half of all grades awarded at A*-A level

  • 82% of grades at A*-B level

  • Nearly a third of students gained three A grades or better

  • Results well above national averages

What they're saying: Head of Ipswich School  Nick Gregory  said: "Whilst we are of course delighted, in terms of statistics, to see that once again our students have delivered results well above national averages, it's the individual stories that matter most: stories of perseverance, passion for a subject, consistent effort, and exceptional support from teachers."

Ben Cliff, Head of Sixth Form, added: "This cohort has shown tremendous resilience, ambition and maturity. Their results are impressive, but it's the way they've grown as people over the last two years that really stands out, and the exciting futures that now lie ahead for these students."

What's next: This year's cohort are heading to destinations across the world, including confirmed places at Oxford and Cambridge, universities in Asia and Australia, gap year projects, professional sports contracts, and degree apprenticeships with leading businesses.

The bigger picture: Ipswich School has been named Suffolk's top independent school in The Sunday Times Schools Guide for the past nine years, recognised for its academic strength and broad curriculum.

The bottom line: Gregory concluded: "This group of young people leaves us not only with excellent qualifications, but with lifelong friendships, memories, and values that will shape their futures. We're incredibly proud of them all."
