One in Four A*A and Tier 1 University Wins to Kings College London and Manchester – Raffles International School Students Dubai Win Big on A Level Results Day 2023

Raffles International School students have achieved outstanding A-Level result wins on A Level Results Day 2023. Significantly, Raffles International School also saw an across-the-board improvement in A Level grades over last year against a background in which many other schools saw a drop as Exam Boards sought to normalise grade boundaries to the level set pre-Pandemic in 2019. Students from across the school celebrated the exceptional achievement – in a school known for its strong commitment to, and celebration of, community.

More than a quarter of the Class of 2023 (26%) achieved A*-A grades –  and a creditable 13% of the cohort achieved A* grades. Outstanding results in Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry and Physics saw over 75% of students achieving  A*, A or B grades. Overall, 69% of the 35-student strong cohort achieved A Level top gradings of A*-C.

The results have seen students take up a spectrum of places at leading universities worldwide, including places at Manchester University, Newcastle University, and Kings College, London in the United Kingdom. A number of students secured valuable scholarships, including for places studying Computer Science at NYU Abu Dhabi and Biochemistry at UAE University – as well as at all the named British universities above.
