Academic results 2024: 28% of our A-Levels students achieve A*-A

As a British and international school, our students follow the National Curriculum of England and the Spanish one, with an educational approach that promotes practical, experiential learning and the development of key skills, encouraging students to discover the world in a deeper way, nurturing their individual talents and developing their full potential.

In the education system, the Secondary stage is made up of Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, the latter culminating in the IGCSE examinations. As well as teaching core subjects and preparing students for their official exams, our secondary courses are designed to equip them with the critical, analytical and rational thinking skills necessary to enable them to become proactive, confident and successful members of society.

A success that is once again borne out by the academic results obtained by our students in their IGCSE and A-Levels examinations. The qualifications obtained in these examinations of the British education system are internationally respected and give access to the most prestigious universities in the world. Our students sit the official examinations set and assessed by the external Cambridge and Edexcel Examination Boards, who will measure their competencies and skills, not only that of our students but of all students who follow the British education system outside the UK. At O Castro, we are committed to helping our students achieve academic excellence and we support them at every stage of their educational journey. 

Academic results

Unlike the Spanish education system, final grades for UK academic qualifications are published in mid-August. Our Year 11 students have achieved 35% A*-A and 14% have achieved the top grade, A* at IGCSE. We wish our new sixth formers the best of luck as they begin their final stage of their education at O Castro in September. IGCSEs are like GCSEs but adapted to an international school environment such as O Castro British International School, which is perfect for the diversity and multiculturalism of our students. These academic qualifications will not only open doors to challenging A-Levels, but lay a solid foundation for future success, both at school and in their lives beyond O Castro.

A-Levels

We also congratulate our 2024 Graduates on their final A-Level grades, with 28% A* - A and 67% A* - C. These results have enabled them to attend the universities of their choice. Many of them have chosen to study their degrees in Spanish universities, both public and private, although we also find international destinations such as UK, USA, Netherlands or Australia, among others. We wish you all the luck in this new and challenging stage!
