Press Release: Thursday 18^th August

Following two years of disruption caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, this summer’s A Levels have returned to traditional examinations. This morning we are celebrating with our Year 13 cohort who have achieved superb results. These young people did not have the opportunity to sit their GCSE papers and have endured a significant amount of upheaval over the course of the last three academic years.

Despite these difficult circumstances we are delighted with the efforts of our students who achieved a 100% pass rate and 71% A*-B grades. Our students will now be taking up their places on their competitive university courses this autumn.

There are many outstanding individual sets of results with our top performer, Lewis Marshall, being awarded 2x A* and 2x A grades. Six more students: Ibrahim Butt, Rachel Green, Hannah Lillis, Zeb Sagar, Afif Sajid, and Mohammad Uneeb all achieved at least 2x A* and 1x A grade. 29% of the cohort achieved at least one A* grade and 20% of our students achieved at least 3x A grades.

The Principal Craig Mairs said:

“There has been a significant amount of comment on education throughout the pandemic and the grading standards of the last three years. Much of this commentary has failed to focus on the efforts of the students affected by the crisis.

At Oldham Hulme Grammar School our focus is on the individual, across our ability range. We are very proud of the resilience, ingenuity and good humour demonstrated by our Year 13 cohort. They, and their dedicated teachers, thoroughly deserve this success. We are delighted that they have secured their competitive university places and wish them every success with the next stage of their education.”
