Outstanding examination results Merchant Taylors’ pupils celebrated another year of exceptional examination success. At A Level, 90% of all grades were awarded at A*, A or B with an impressive 33% at A* and 71% A–A*. Twenty-seven boys achieved three or more A*s. Nine secured places at Oxford or Cambridge and a further nine are going on to study Medicine. At GCSE the results were equally impressive: 45% of grades were 9s (A**), 73% were 9–8 (A*) and 97% were 9–6 (A*–B). Seventeen pupils achieved a full sweep of 9s in all their subjects. These results reflect not only the boys’ talent and commitment but also the dedication of their teachers and families.
