A-Level results surpass expectations
The A-Level results for The Leys are:
A-C 90.2%
A-E 98%
This was a year group that was never expected to achieve the very high standards of the previous 2 years, but emerged with statistics that surpassed expectations, and deserve great credit. 19% of our candidates gained three or more A Grades, including one, Christian Meyer, who was in the top ten of all candidates for Edexcel German A-Level. I am pleased with the success of these pupils and their teachers.

Headmaster thrilled with 2008 GCSE results
The GCSE results for The Leys are:
A* - A passes 65.6%
A* - C passes 98.6%
A* - E passes 100%
I am thrilled with these results, the best the School has ever achieved at GCSE, and I am sure the pupils and their parents will be as delighted as we are. This is a talented year group which has worked very hard and been superbly taught, and their sense of elation is well justified. 38% of the year gained 10 or more A*/A grades, and all our candidates can feel proud of their success. This is a clear reflection of the academic improvements which have taken place at the school in recent years.

The Leys is keen to promote its sustainability initiative and as a result we have created a special section of our website.
www.theleys.net/green includes information about current events, the progress being made by the pupil-driven Eco-Schools group, work on Fairtrade and other general information. It will be updated fairly frequently and we would welcome your feedback.
