Esher College is pleased to report a 98.6% pass rate at A level (78% A* – C grades). The AS level pass rate is equally impressive at 91.4% (65.9% A – C grades).

Dan Dean, the College Principal, said, "We are delighted that our 2015 results demonstrate that Esher College students continue to achieve at the highest level. With well over 2000 entries at A level, it is testimony to the hard work of our students and teachers that more than half of these were at A*-B, the highest possible grades. Our BTEC results are also exceptional. Performance at this level clearly opens doors for the future and we wish all our leavers success as they head off to university or employment."
