Lingfield College Celebrates Exceptional A Level and BTEC Results 2025

Results Highlights – Class of 2025

• 45% of grades awarded at A*-A or Distinction*-Distinction
• 77% of all grades achieved A*-B or Distinction*-Merit
• 85% of BTEC grades were awarded Distinction* or Distinction
• 100% pass rate across all A Level and BTEC courses
• 90% of students heading to university secured their first-choice destination

Among the many individual achievements, sixteen students achieved A, A, A or higher, with five earning a full sweep of A*s. 

Particularly strong outcomes were achieved in Art, French, Further Maths, Mathematics, and Music, where students consistently achieved at the highest levels.

These results open doors to a wide variety of futures. Lingfield students are now heading to a diverse range of destinations – from Oxford, Cambridge and Durham to Bath, Exeter, Bristol, Manchester and beyond. Others are embarking on competitive degree apprenticeships with organisations such as L’Oréal, BP, Bank of America and VolkerFitzpatrick, while some are preparing for gap years, creative careers, or entrepreneurial ventures.

Amongst those celebrating is Simreth, who achieved an exceptional four A* and an A* in his EPQ. He studied Economics, Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Philosophy, and will go on to read PPE at Oxford University. As President of the General Assembly at Model United Nations, Simreth is a passionate debater and thinker, and also a talented pianist, playing a key role in every Sixth Form music production during his time at Lingfield. Reflecting on his journey, he shared:

“This moment is a really special way to say goodbye to Lingfield. My results are exactly what I wanted and the start of the rest of my life. I’ve never worked so hard for something in my life. The support I received sparked a curiosity about the subjects, the world and how it works - and that's what carried me here.”

Alice, who has been at Lingfield since Reception, is now preparing to study Medicine and Surgery at the University of Sheffield after achieving AAB. A committed athlete, Alice played for the A-Team in both netball and hockey and was awarded the Kate Lincoln Cup for Sports Person of the Year at this years Prizegiving. 

“This means so much to me. It has been a year in the making — from UCAS through to interviews,” she said. "What an incredible feeling. I’ve put my whole world into it, and the belief my teachers, friends, and family had in me really got me through.”

Rupert, who achieved AAB in Music, Physics and Art, begins a Degree Apprenticeship in Quantity Surveying with VolkerFitzpatrick next week. A talented musician and creative, he reflected:

“It’s a bit surreal starting work already — it will be interesting, but I’m ready. Lingfield has always felt like a really strong community. It has always been great to be around my friends, and the teachers have been incredibly supportive."

Headmaster Richard Bool expressed his pride in this cohort’s achievements “These results really capture what makes Lingfield special - a community that values academic ambition but also cares deeply about individuality and wellbeing. Our students have shown real focus and determination to succeed, and I’m incredibly proud of all that they’ve achieved, and they should they be too.

I’d also like to thank our staff, who give so much to support every student; their care and commitment make all the difference.”

In 2024, Lingfield was placed in the top 2.5% of schools nationally for value-added at A Level — and with this year’s outcomes, we’re proud to see that trend continue.

Alison Folkard, Head of Sixth Form, added, “This group has been a joy to support. Their results are so well-deserved, but what’s been even more rewarding is seeing how much they’ve grown, not just in their learning but also in their confidence and independence.

We’ve always believed that great results aren’t just about numbers but about what comes next. Our aim is to help students move on to something that really excites them, and I know this year group are heading into their following chapters with purpose and positivity.”

As we celebrate these successes, we’re reminded that the impact of a Lingfield education goes far beyond the classroom. We send our heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2025 - and we’ll be cheering them on in all they go on to do.

Families considering Sixth Form at Lingfield are warmly invited to visit the school this autumn. Our Senior School Open Morning takes place on Saturday 27th September, and our Sixth Form Options Evening is on Thursday 10th October. Booking is available via our Open Events Page.
