Glenlola Collegiate Celebrates Outstanding Examination Results 2016
Mr WE Thompson, Headmaster at Glenlola Collegiate School, has praised pupils on yet another year of exceptional results. He commented,
‘Our girls have once again achieved excellent results at all levels; the well-deserved result of their hard work and commitment over the past year and of the invaluable support offered by their parents during their time at Glenlola Collegiate. I am sure parents are as proud of their daughters as we are.
It is most gratifying for my staff to see the tremendous impact that their dedication and care has had on the achievements of the pupils they have taught. These results are also a glowing testament to the quality of the education provided by their primary schools. They have laid the foundations for these successes.
I congratulate them and wish our girls well as they prepare to move on to the next phase of their education, especially our Leavers most of whom will be taking up places in universities across the UK and beyond.’
Advanced Level
The Year 14 pupils of Glenlola Collegiate have achieved exceptional examination results, exceeding the Northern Ireland Grammar School girls’ averages at all grades.
They recorded a 99.7% pass rate in all subjects offered at A-Level, which compares very favourably with the NI average pass rate of 98.4%.
Grades A*, A and B accounted for almost two thirds of all those achieved compared to the NI average of 59.7% and the NI girls’ average of just 61.8%.
The 87.7% of A*-C grades is also well in excess of the NI Grammar School average of 83.0% and the NI Grammar School Girls’ average of 84.6%.
