HomeARTICLESTOP UK 100 BOARDING SCHOOLS BY A-LE... Top UK 100 boarding schools by A-levels results This article contains a list of the Top 100 Boarding Schools based on their A-level results. Academic excellence is generally regarded as the most important factor in choosing a school so the schools contained in this table have been ranked based on the percentage of results that were either A* or A, the two highest possible results. image Boarding schools in the UK provide a broad education that extends well beyond the classroom. Independence, empathy, a sense of community, and social skills are just some of the attributes that the teachers and staff help their students attain. When considering the array of benefits that independent boarding schools in the UK provide students, it is clear that ranking them solely based on their academic results does not give a complete picture of the true standings of each school. However, owing to the intangibility of the benefits which makes statistical analysis impossible, a ranking based just on academic results becomes the most logical choice. As Tony Little, the ex-headmaster of Eton College said, “There is more to education than league tables” so if you are viewing this table to help you select a school, use additional sources of information (prospectuses, agents, visits, etc.) to make an informed decision. Advice about choosing schools can be found by contacting us. Here are the rankings: A*/A Rank School Name Location A-level %A*/A 1 Wycombe Abbey School High Wycombe 85.7 2 Westminster School London 85.4 3 Brighton College Brighton 85.1 4 Winchester College Winchester 84.2 5 Sevenoaks School Sevenoaks 82.9 6 Queen Ethelburga's College York 82.5 7 St Paul's School London 81.4 8 Eton College Windsor 80.7 9 The Faculty of Queen Ethelburga's York 80.2 10 Concord College Shrewsbury 79.9 11 Tonbridge School Tonbridge 78 12 St Mary's School Ascot Ascot 77.1 13 Cheltenham Ladies' College Cheltenham 74.5 14 Whitgift School South Croydon 73 15 Ruthin School Ruthin 72.8 16 Wellington College Crowthorne 72.8 17 St Swithun's School Winchester 71 18 City of London Freemen's School Ashtead 70.5 19 Downe House Thatcham 70.4 20 Westbourne School Penarth 69.7 21 St Catherine's, Bramley Guildford 67.5 22 Caterham School Caterham 65.3 23 Headington School Oxford 65.2 24 Dulwich College London 63.2 25 Badminton School Bristol 62.7 26 Marlborough College Marlborough 62.6 27 Abingdon School Abingdon 62.4 28 Sherborne Girls Sherborne 62 29 Benenden School Cranbrook 61.9 30 Oundle School Peterborough 61.6 31 Shrewsbury School Shrewsbury 60.6 32 Kingswood School Bath 60.5 33 Chigwell School Chigwell 59.8 34 Woldingham School Caterham 58.9 35 Radley College Abingdon 58.7 36 The King's School, Canterbury Canterbury 58.7 37 Bishop's Stortford College Bishop's Stortford 58.5 38 St Peter's School York 57.2 39 Farlington School Horsham 57.1 40 Bellerbys College London London 55.7 41 Cambridge Tutors College Croydon 55.7 42 Christ College Brecon Brecon 55.7 43 Queen Margaret's School, York York 55.4 44 Bromsgrove School Bromsgrove 55.4 45 Roedean School Brighton 55.3 46 d'Overbroeck's College Oxford 55.3 47 Talbot Heath School Bournemouth 55.1 48 Clifton College Bristol 55.1 49 Haileybury Hertford 54.8 50 Bellerbys College Brighton Brighton 54.7 51 St Mary's Shaftesbury Shaftesbury 54.6 52 St Francis' College Letchworth Garden City 54.4 53 Mayfield School Mayfield 54.1 54 Ipswich School Ipswich 53.8 55 Fettes College Edinburgh 53.6 56 Warwick School Warwick 53.5 57 King William's College Castletown 53.4 58 Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls Monmouth 53.3 59 Rugby School Rugby 53 60 Dauntsey's School Devizes 51.7 61 Ardingly College Haywards Heath 51.5 62 The Mount School York 51.5 63 Epsom College Epsom 51.3 64 Canford School Wimborne 51.3 65 Truro School Truro 51.2 66 Chetham's School of Music Manchester 50.3 67 Ashford School Ashford 50.2 68 Moira House Girls School Eastbourne 50 69 St Leonards School St Andrews 49.6 70 New Hall School Chelmsford 49.5 71 Dean Close School Cheltenham 49 72 Uppingham School Uppingham 49 73 Bedford School Bedford 48.4 74 Mill Hill School London 48.1 75 Leweston School Sherborne 48 76 Cranleigh School Cranleigh 47.8 77 Monmouth School Monmouth 47.6 78 St Mary's School, Cambridge Cambridge 47.6 79 Burgess Hill Girls Burgess Hill 47.5 80 Berkhamsted School Berkhamsted 47 81 Downside School Bath 47 82 The Leys School Cambridge 46.7 83 Oakham School Oakham 46.6 84 The Royal School Haslemere 46.5 85 Kimbolton School Huntingdon 46 86 St Edward's School Oxford 45.8 87 Wells Cathedral School Wells 45.8 88 Queenswood Hatfield 45.7 89 Reed's School Cobham 45.7 90 Brentwood School Brentwood 45.5 91 Sherborne School Sherborne 45 92 Cheltenham College Cheltenham 45 93 Christ's Hospital Horsham 43.7 94 Bedales School Petersfield 43.1 95 Tudor Hall Banbury 43 96 St George's Ascot Ascot 42.3 97 Bradfield College Reading 41.9 98 Bootham School York 41.4 99 St John's School Leatherhead 40.8 100 Wellington School Wellington 40.4
