There were lots of smiles yesterday as the Our Lady’s A Level girls received their examination results!

Last year, A Level performance placed the school Joint 1^st in Northern Ireland when 92% of the students obtained at least 3 A – C grades.  This year, a remarkable 96% of students obtained 3 or more A* - C grades, 56% of all examinations taken were awarded Grade A*/A and 86% of all grades were at least Grade B so the celebrations were well deserved. Indeed, 98% of all subjects were awarded Grade C or higher and the pass – rate, once again, was 100%.

In addition, 40 of the girls obtained 3 or 4 A*/A grades and over 70 have at least 360 UCAS points, the 3A equivalent ~ a splendid achievement.

“Hard work, excellent teaching and caring support in school and at home have enabled these splendid young women to fulfil their outstanding potential,” commented Principal Ms Geraldine Pettigrew. “They all have so many gifts and talents and they have been generous and kind throughout their years in school. Everyone associated with Our Lady’s is absolutely delighted for the girls and their families and wishes them great happiness and success in their future.”
