A-level Results 2008
GIRLS' SCHOOL PRESS RELEASE
AUGUST 2008
Merchant Taylors' Girls' School Headmistress Louise Robinson has described this year's A level results as ‘phenomenal'.
Girls at the Crosby School achieved a 100% pass rate with 78.8% at grades A and B and 54% at grade A.
Mrs Robinson said: "It's another phenomenal set of results across all subjects showing that Merseyside's top young women are a match for any in the country."
Three girls: Katie Payne, Tori Macoy and Sarah Fenelon achieved 5 straight A grades, while another 8 girls gained 4 straight As: Abigail Kaye, Eleanor Phillips, Becky Jason, Louisa Cummings, Sophie Bolger, Merhala Selvarajah, Katy Highet and Ciara O'Donnell.
Geographers were on top of the world after achieving 100% A grades with all 15 students getting top marks.
Maggie Hart, Head of Geography at MTGS said: "Results over the last decade have been consistently outstanding in Geography and we simply cannot do any better. While numbers taking this subject nationally continue to decline, girls at Merchants have bucked the trend."
She added: "We have a vastly experienced department who enthuse our students with a genuine passion for the subject. Not only does Geography provide a set of transferable skills including the ability to analyse data, predict trends and write detailed reports but it also educates our brightest and youngest in the most pressing issues facing the planet and a 100% pass rate at grade A show that Merseyside's young women have a strong social conscience."
