Examination Results
SIXTH FORM Examination Results 2019
This year’s Charterhouse school leavers have equalled last year’s superb examination record by attaining 92% Distinction and Merit grades in their Pre-U public examinations.
Forty-three pupils attained Distinctions (or A Level equivalent) in every one of the subjects they took. Over 50% of all grades achieved were A* or A, and over 4 out of 5 grades were A*-B.
The largest Sixth Form cohort on our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) has recorded excellent results too, and our IBDP graduates have maintained an average points score well beyond the international average.
Our pupils have secured places at some of the world’s top universities: eleven will take up offers at Oxford and Cambridge, nine at Durham, and fifteen at UCL. Beyond the UK, this year’s leavers will attend Bocconi, NYU Stern, Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Chicago.
Dr Alex Peterken, Head Master, is delighted: “Our leavers have done exceptionally well, and I am so happy to see their academic success. Our pupils committed diligently to challenging academic courses, and they are to be congratulated on the perseverance and hard work they have shown in the Sixth Form”.
Dr Peterken also thanked all the school’s teachers, for their dedication in working closely with pupils, and expressed gratitude for the support for pupils that comes from all in the Charterhouse community.

(I)GCSE RESULTS 2018
This year’s Charterhouse (I)GCSE results show a record number of A* grades: 57% of subjects taken were graded at A* (or the equivalent in the new 9-1 scale) and the figure for A* and A grades combined was 75%.
All of the Year 11 pupils at Charterhouse take a minimum of nine (I)GCSEs: fourteen pupils this year gained straight A* grades and a further 37 achieved all A*s and As, comparing very favourably with recent years.
Dr Alex Peterken, the new Headmaster, expressed delight at these results and congratulated the boys on their efforts, as well as those of the teaching staff in providing outstanding guidance and support.
