A and AS Level Results Day - The Results Are In...

WhichSchoolAdvisor.com is still collecting the data, but we managed to collect results for more schools this year than at any time before. CAG final grades can be found in our tables below.  We have not amended individual school comments. We congratulate all UAE schools not only for their fabulous results, but also their increasing transparency. 

Following the announcement by the UK Government on 17th August that the results which had been calculated using the controversial algorithm would be replaced by those submitted by schools (Centre-assessed Grades - CAG), WhichSchoolAdvisor.com has not updated the text within this article, but an additional table has been added for the CAG results below the original.

Horizon International School

Horizon International School, part of Al Najah Education, led the charge in releasing the first set of results in the UAE on A' Level Results Day.

According to a statement sent to WhichSchoolAdvisor.com 2020 Post 16 results reflect "another year of exceptional performance by Horizon International School's students in both attainment and progress". Out of the entries for this year, 29% of exam entries were awarded A*-A, and 75% of entries achieved A*-C grades. Horizon International School enjoyed an overall pass rate (A*-E) of 100%.

This success has been made possible thanks to the passion and dedication shown by our education team and the immense support from our families."

As a year group, they have demonstrated positivity, resilience and an amazing work ethic that has clearly paid off. We are delighted that their hard work has been rewarded and wish them all the best in their next step in life."

Kent College Dubai

Kent College Dubai  also celebrated the successes of its A-level cohort which had more than doubled in size this year.  An impressive 99% of all A-level examinations resulted in passes, with 83% within the critical A*-C bracket. This is an increase upon the previous best of 75% at A*-C and marks the end of a turbulent time for the Year 13 students.

Timothy Hollis, Head of Senior School at Kent College comments, “These results are testament to the hard work and determination of our Year 13 pupils and teachers, all of whom have worked with professionalism and diligence throughout these difficult times. I have been amazed by the continued effort and commitment of our whole community as they have given their very best, learning valuable lessons right up until the end of the term. Through their hard work I am confident that our young graduates will make a positive contribution to the environments to which they embark”

Jonas Kurten and Lorenzo Raimondi, who each gained 5 top A-level qualifications, alongside Hannah Meredith and Ashleigh Brits who achieved straight A*-A grades, KCD pupils are now looking forward to the challenges the very best universities in the world have to offer.”

The Principal, Mr Anthony Cashin echoed his congratulations to the pupils and teachers. “The recent A-level results are truly indicative of the quality of teaching and learning here at Kent College. I would also like to join in and congratulate our cohort of graduating pupils who have achieved great success and their teachers for providing such engaging learning opportunities during the online/distance period. I wish our graduating class every success with their future endeavours.”

Dubai College

We applaud Dubai College, regarded as the emirate's and probably the UAE's most successful school academically, for sharing its results in detail with us.  There were 126 students in the 2020 cohort who entered a total of 414 exams. This year’s A Level results from Dubai College reflect its students’ consistent 3-year average of 60% A*/A grades at A Level. 24% of exam entries were graded A* (compared to 26% last year), whilst 60% (last year, 62%) were graded A*-A, 95% of entries were graded A*-C and students again achieved a 100% pass rate.

However, reflecting the concerns that have been expressed by many schools over recent days, Dubai College noted that "we are currently in the midst of the most complicated results day in the history of the qualification. The problem with celebrating headline statistics is that they do not tell the 126 individual stories currently playing out in school. This situation has the potential to be unsettling for many of our students and there is no doubt that today’s results will look very different in a week’s time.

These published grades reflect the 3-year average which Ofqual announced would be the basis for this year’s A Levels results across the world. They have been produced by Ofqual’s computer algorithm and in many cases are not the grades which the school had anticipated for students nor do they reflect the true account of our students’ performance in public examinations.

Whilst it is very pleasing that ten students gained a full house of A* grades, six of whom achieved this rare feat in four A Level subjects, we must contextualise these results within the current shifting context. 

Dubai College’s students will be heading to top tier universities around the world, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial and University College London in the UK; MIT, Stanford, Yale, New York University and University of Pennsylvania in the US; Toronto and University of British Columbia in Canada; Sydney and Melbourne in Australia and Trinity College, Dublin, among many others.

Headmaster Michael Lambert commented, “Today is a results day like no other and there is still much that is uncertain about these results. On Tuesday night UK education secretary Gavin Williams announced that students who would like to request the use of a valid mock result instead of their Ofqual moderated grade would be able to do so through an appeals process. Individual students will need to notify their school or college who will provide evidence of their mock results to their exam board. However, as yet, the process has not been finalised and there is no guarantee that mock results will supersede moderated grades. There is also the chance that the UK government will follow the lead of the Scottish parliament and reinstate the centre assessed grades which schools submitted to the examinations boards in June. What is most important right now is that we are on hand to answer questions and enable our students to progress to their next stage on their path.”

Safa Community School

Safa Community School was delighted to announce the results of its first Sixth Form, Year 12, students who sat their AS examinations this year in advance of completing their A Levels in 2021. 22 students sat a total of 60 exams across 14 subjects. The number of A*-A grades for the first-ever cohort was an impressive 32% – over twice the UK national A-Level average. In addition, half of all grades achieved were A*-B (50%) and 75% of all grades were A*-C.

Michael Davies, Head of Secondary, commented “We are delighted with these results. The students have overcome adversity in unprecedented times. They have never waivered or taken a backward step; with every obstacle and challenge, the group became stronger. They reflect just how hard learners and staff have worked to ensure that our students achieved excellent outcomes. The standard of teaching and learning in our Sixth Form is truly impressive. AS-level outcomes for Year 12 have surpassed their expected grades which indicates even stronger A level results next year. I’d like to thank all involved publicly.”

Top Performers at the school were Farouk Attia who achieved four A grades in Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Design and Technology; and Nourhan Elshahat who also achieved all A grades in Biology, Business and Maths. Both are Academic Scholarship students at SCS.  In addition, Maria Novais also achieved three A grades in Biology, Maths and Chemistry, and Warda Mandvia achieved three A grades in Biology, Maths and Psychology and a B in Chemistry 

Stephen Duckett Principal, commented “I am delighted that our first cohort of sixth former's has demonstrated excellent Year 12 results. Safa Community School consistently ensures that all our students outperform. Importantly, we have also fully prepared our oldest students for their future careers, and our focus on their all-round wellbeing has supported them to deliver such a high level of success. The remarkable results of our Year 12 cohort fully reflect that every individual sixth former and all of their teachers should feel justifiably proud of their outstanding achievements.”

Despite a challenging year for their students, Brighton College Abu Dhabi and Brighton College Al Ain have announced a strong set of A Level results achieved by their students.

Ambiguities do remain about the appeals process and, if common sense prevails in the end, these results will improve further still, ensuring that all our pupils have grades which they have every right to be proud of. My thanks and congratulations go to all, whatever the outcome, and there is a team of expert and experienced teachers now available to all pupils and parents who need support as they seek to confirm university places and to challenge any results that seem unfair. We will be fighting hard for them!”

Dubai English Speaking College

Non-selective Dubai English Speaking College is by far the biggest A Level school in the UAE with 228 students sitting 743 exams. (Wow). It is also a very transparent school, releasing all relevant data to WhichSchoolAdvisor.com.

Like many of his peers, Head of Secondary, Christopher Vizzard, sounded a note of caution with respect to the A Level results released on Thursday however:

"Like all schools, we are treating the results published today with a level of caution given the recent information from the UK. We expect the picture to change somewhat over the next few days and we are working hard to support all students as they try to secure their desired places at the universities of their choice. Our results are reflective of the majority of schools with a 40% difference between the data that was presented to the boards compared to the final grades that have been awarded. There was never going to be a perfect solution to the unprecedented circumstances the students in this cohort faced but for some students the discrepancy in what they have been awarded compared to their expected grade is a difficult outcome to accept. We have no doubt this will change once it is made clear how these results can be appealed."

Overall the results of the 228 students (the highest cohort to date) showed that 40% of exam entries were graded a A*-A, with 41 students gaining 3 or more A*/A grades. 66.9% of students' exam papers were awarded A*-B, over 88% A*-C and the pass rate is 99.6% A*-E.  These results are broadly in line with the achievements of the students from 2019 as our tables at the end of this article show.

Mr. Vizzard went on to say, "We wish all our students the very best and congratulate them on all their hard work over the last two years. We thank all staff who have worked with the students to achieve these grades."

Dubai British School, Emirates Hills

Taaleem's Dubai British School, Emirates Hills, saw another successful set of A-level and BTEC results published today. With a growth in student numbers taking post 16 qualifications, 63 students undertook 198 examination entries, the largest number ever at DBS.

Despite the uncertainty over the outcomes in the past few days 43% of entries were graded achieved A* - A, with 86% of all grades being inclusive of A* - C and a 100% pass rate overall. Students achieved entry to leading UK and international universities with locations such as Manchester, Liverpool, Imperial College London being amongst the destinations the students have chosen to attend.

Simon Jodrell, Principal, commenting on students' achievements said, "At Dubai British School Emirates Hills (DBS EH) we are delighted to celebrate the hard work, effort and achievement of our Class 2020. This has undoubtedly been an unprecedented year, and the A-level and BTEC students have faced a set of circumstances and experiences that no other A level exam cohort has before. Despite these challenges, results at DBS EH have continued to remain extremely high, with students achieving result sets enabling them to attend their universities of choice. We are incredibly proud of our students whose resilience, sense of purpose and character has enabled them to achieve all that they have."

British School Al Khubairat

At the British School Al Khubairat (BSAK), 125 A Level and BTEC students received their results.  Of this group, 22% achieved an A*, 45 per cent A*-A and 88 per cent earned between A-C.

Despite these successes, Teresa Woulfe, Head of Secondary at BSAK said that some students were disappointed with their results and felt that they did not fairly reflect their ability.

"It was always going to be a challenge for the UK Government and exam boards to manage this process, however it is important that we work with our pupils to ensure that they have the support they need to move on to the next phase of their education and lives".

It is clear that there is not only disappointment but considerable anger about the impact of the UK Government and Ofqual's approach to the allocation of exam results.

Commenting on Twitter, Principal Mark Leppard, MBE said, "Almighty mess up by exam boards & UK Government. A Bus[iness] Stud[ies] cohort of 51 students. 50 had their grades reduced. The % of grades matches previous year cohort exactly. Shows a complete disregard for students/teachers & their incredible hard work. Humans not algorithms." 

Despite the fact that some students did not achieve the results expected, BSAK graduates will be attending a number of top ranking universities, including the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London and New York University in the US.

Belvedere British School

BBS had a small cohort of A Level students - 12 in total - who all passed their exams this year.  Highlights were that 44% of results were graded A*-A and 93% A*-C.

The grades our students have received are impressive, but their levels of resilience and determination to succeed are also equally noteworthy. We wish our school leavers all of the very best for the future, with a successful start from Belvedere British School."
