Our students have once again impressed with their A Level results — proof that hard work, support, and ambition lead to amazing things. We couldn’t be prouder of the Class of 2025 — and we can’t wait to see what’s next for them all! Congratulations to every single one of our girls!
Burgess Hill Girls is celebrating a fantastic set of A Level results with almost 80% of outcomes graded A*-B and over 50% graded A*-A. Two thirds of the cohort gained three A*-B grades, the essential requirement for admission to the most competitive universities.
Results in the Extended Project Qualification were outstanding, with 96% A*-A grades. The EPQ is excellent preparation for higher education which is why it is a required element of the Sixth Form BOLD programme at Burgess Hill Girls.
Their bespoke university and futures preparation means Burgess Hill Girls consistently maximises the aspirations of all its students. They are particularly proud of the wide range of successes across different disciplines, with girls taking up places to read Mathematics, Politics, Chemistry, English Literature, Anthropology, Classics, and Business and Management. There is consistent strength too in creative courses with girls taking up places at top Art institutions and music conservatoire places too. Almost all will take up places at their first-choice institution.
Recent UCAS figures show that only 13% of all UK students studying computer science related degrees are female. Burgess Hill Girls challenges this with three students securing places to read Computer Science at university. In a girls-only environment, free from gender stereotypes, girls are encouraged to follow their tech-related career aspirations.
Head of Sixth Form, Iain Regan-Smith said, “We are immensely proud of our Sixth Form students whose outstanding A level results reflect their academic excellence over a wide range of subjects, something which is further reflected in the breadth of options being pursued for higher education. Not only have this year’s cohort demonstrated intellectual curiosity but they have combined this with remarkable charitable initiatives and leadership. They leave us confident, compassionate young women, equipped to excel as Tomorrow’s Women.”
Notable individual successes include:
- Lucia, who achieved 4 A* grade A levels as well as an A* in her EPQ will read Natural Sciences (Physical) at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.
- Melissa, with outstanding grades, secures her place at Oriel College, Oxford to read Mathematics and Computer Science.
- Ashana, with four A* grades, will read Computer Science at King’s College London.
- All three also won a silver medal in the prestigious National Cypher Challenge 2024.
This year’s results were also notable for two sets of twins achieving identical grades in three of their subjects:
- Amelie (Classical Civilisation, French, History, Politics A Levels) reading History at Exeter; Madison (Classical Civilisation, History, Politics A Levels) reading Politics & International Relations at York.
- Amy (Drama and Theatre, Economics, Geography A Levels) reading Drama with Acting at Royal Holloway; Maddie (Art, Maths, Religious Studies A Levels) reading Management & Marketing at Reading.
We’re incredibly proud of all the girls especially as the majority gained their first choice university and courses with students leaving to go on to study their real passions at a range of impressive universities which include; Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Chichester, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Durham, Hertfordshire, King’s College London, Leeds, Leicester, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading, Royal Holloway, Royal Northern Musical Conservatoire, Sheffield, Southampton, Surrey, Sussex, University of the Arts London, University College London, Warwick, York.
Head, Heather Cavanagh, added:
“Today we are proudly celebrating our A Level stars, the Class of 2025.

I congratulate every single one of our girls and extend my thanks to our dedicated staff for their tireless support. We look forward to seeing all that the Class of 2025 will accomplish in the future.”
