Nether Stowe A-Levels 2021 – Nether Stowe is thoroughly proud to be celebrating another excellent set of A Level results.
This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. We are exceptionally proud that 49% of grades were at A* and A grades and 60% of grades at A* – B reflecting the hard work and dedication of students and staff.
Headteacher, Glyn Langston-Jones stated that: “There have been a lot of inaccurate and unhelpful news stories about grade inflation. However, it is vital to remember the unprecedented pressures placed on students.
“These grades and brilliant achievements represent fantastic stories of individual determination, hard work, perseverance, talent and success that deserve to be recognised and celebrated.’

Headteacher, Glyn Langston-Jones, added: “regardless the impact of Covid, and the enforced school closures that have affected students throughout Year 12 and Year 13, we always had exceptionally high hopes for this year’s cohort and were very confident that we were on track for some of the best results we have ever seen.
“After such turmoil, we are relieved and immensely proud that years of hard work have been rightly recognised in such a set of excellent results for our students. It really is a testament to the hard work and talent of the students and the amazing support provided by our staff. Nether Stowe really is a very special place to be.
