School Celebrates 95.7% Higher Pass Rate

Congratulations are extended to all our pupils who received their SQA exam results last week. The Edinburgh Steiner School is once again celebrating after achieving outstanding SQA results including an A-C pass rate at Higher of 95.7% - more than 19% above the national average (76.5%). What sets our school apart is that, unlike other independent schools in Edinburgh, we do not select our pupils on the basis of academic ability. We are therefore enormously proud of all our pupils, not only those who have achieved the highest grades but those who have displayed incredible dedication and hard work to achieve their individual targets and personal bests. 

At Higher Grade, a pass rate of 74% for A Grades was achieved by our candidates while 100% of our Advanced Higher Art candidates achieved Grade A.

Our Intermediate candidates also excelled with a 100% A Grade pass rate at Intermediate 1 English and a 93% A-B pass rate at Intermediate 2 English. Overall our pupils achieved a 91% A-C pass rate at Intermediate 2. We continue to operate an open presentation policy which allows all our pupils the opportunity to sit nationally recognised qualifications.

These outstanding results would not have been possible without the dedication and professionalism of our teaching staff as well as the support and encouragement displayed by our parents. Well done to all involved!
