61% of A-Level results have been graded A*-B, while 34% are either A* or A. 60% of BTEC results are Distinction or Distinction*. Combined with the International Baccalaureate (IB) results from earlier in the summer, 42% of the School’s Year 13 results are A*-A or equivalent with 73% being A*-B.
The School’s top 100 students across its A-Level, BTEC and IB pathways performed particularly well. 50% of their grades were A* or A, or equivalent, and 84% were A*-B or equivalent. 
Jennifer Taylor, Head of Sixth Form at Taunton School, said: “I am incredibly proud of each and every one of our students for their outstanding A-level, BTEC and IB results this year. Their hard work, determination, and resilience have been rewarded with fantastic achievements.
“Behind every set of results is a unique story of dedication, perseverance, and personal growth, and each student should take great pride in all they have accomplished. I am excited to see them each take their next steps, whether that be university, apprenticeships, employment, or other exciting opportunities, and I wish them every success in their future.”
In a cohort in which nine students achieved at least three A*s or the equivalent, Taunton School Sixth Form’s highest achiever was Rohan, who has achieved the top grade in each of his A-Levels in chemistry, maths, further maths and physics.
Rohan has said: “I am happy with the four A*s I have achieved: it is a good ending to the great time I have had at Taunton School.” Rohan will be studying Aerospace Engineering at the University of Bristol.”
