64% of grades have been awarded A*- A and 85% A* – B.
From the outstanding results this cohort achieved at GCSE, we knew this would be an exceptional year for A Level grades.
We are delighted to announce that 64% of grades have been awarded A*- A and 85% A* – B. The students’ dedication and resilience has shone through over the last two years, their consistent performance at an elite standard has been admired by all and we are thrilled to see such a diverse and inspiring list of future destinations for our leavers.
I felt a great deal of respect, awe, and pride for our students and their teachers @RMSforGirls this morning.
They have all worked incredibly hard, have adapted to ever-changing circumstances, and have always maintained an exceptionally supportive community spirit.#perseverance pic.twitter.com/2W0teGHO7c— Kevin Carson (@kevin_carson) August 10, 2021

What made you choose a Physics degree?
“I’ve always been interested in aerospace and astronomy. Having the opportunity to talk to Tim Peak while he was on the ISS was so exciting and confirmed my love for physics. I almost chose engineering but there were so many physics topics that RMS teachers had shown me which I would be sad to never study again!”
The best thing about Sixth Form at RMS?
“The teachers! All my teachers know me so well and really care about my progress in my subjects. The difference in the Sixth Form was the collaboration – we were working together to enable me to achieve my best.”
What co-curricular activities did you enjoy?
“I made the most of opportunities at RMS. I was a member of the hockey and athletics team. I played in the orchestra and sang in many different choirs as well as performing in the annual shows. I also was part of the CANSAT team which was certainly one of my favourite activities.”
A lasting memory of your time at RMS?
“Drill is something I’ll never forget! I loved having the chance to spend time with girls from other years while being part of an RMS tradition.”

The best thing about Sixth Form at RMS?
“You really felt closer to your teachers. It was less of a teacher-student relationship and much more as equals working together on the same goal to get you your best possible grades! They were always so approachable and so willing to offer you all the help you needed.”
What co-curricular activities did you enjoy?
“On my very first day at RMS in year 12, you were able to sign up for Drill, which I did! That was such a unique experience! I also joined the Model United Nations team.”
A lasting memory of your time at RMS?
“My favourite memory of RMS is definitely the trip to CERN, Geneva. It was incredible to see so many different people working on such a huge project. That was really inspiring. A close second favourite memory is one physics lesson where we all kept humming the tune of Sweet Caroline, I’m really going to miss all those little moments.”

The best thing about Sixth Form at RMS?
“How much the teachers care about each individual. They are so well equipped to give one-on-one support for whatever you need, and to help you go in any direction you are passionate about. On top of that, the students care so much about each other too; it is such a supportive environment where everyone feels confident to be unique and take on opportunities.”
What co-curricular activities did you enjoy?
“Many sports (gym, hockey, netball, rounders, tennis and athletics teams), Fusion Dance Club, Debate Society, Think About It, Physics Stretch and Challenge, Extension Maths…almost all of which I continued right the way through to Sixth Form.”
A lasting memory of your time at RMS?
“I have too many lasting memories of RMS to even try to pick a favourite; every year and stage of school has brought so many things to look back and smile on. So to give one, I’ll say the entire school singing and dancing in the great hall after House Day, lead by the Sixth Formers, with everyone getting involved and having a great time…even the teachers!”
