A-Level Economics and IGCSE Business at St. Lawrence College, Athens

Hello everyone – hope you had as pleasant a summer as me and my family did, and of course that you are ready for hard work over the coming year.

I want to congratulate all of you who took Economics A Level, AS Level and Business this year. The results were excellent and it is very gratifying as a teacher to see so many pupils do so well.

At A Level there were 11 pupils. The results were 2 A, 4 B, 3C, 2D. There were no E or U. Congrats to all of you.

At AS Level there were 19 pupils. The results were remarkable. There were 13 A, 1B, 2C, 1D, 2U. Thirteen achieving grade A is just brilliant.

In IGCSE Business Studies there were 16 pupils. the breakdown was 2A*, 4A, 1B, 7C and 1D. Great stuff!
