65% A*/A across 361 exams

% A* Grades 4.5x UK average

Shrewsbury International School Bangkok is celebrating another fantastic set of A level results for its Class of 2019 graduates. 65% of all A level examinations scored the top A*/A grades versus a UK average just 26%, whilst the proportion of exams scoring the very top A* grade was 4.5 times higher than the UK average.

An impressive 19 students achieved 3 or more A* grades, with 11 students scoring 4 A*s, earning them university places to some of the world’s leading universities including UPenn, Imperial College London, LSE, and the University of Cambridge, where no less than five outstanding Shrewsbury graduates will be continuing their studies next year.

Amongst the Cambridge cohort and topping the individual examination achievements with 5 A*s is Nerinat (Nae Nae) Yongphiphatwong. Nae Nae will be joined in Cambridge by fellow Engineer Chanop (Chap) Sethiwan, Economists Pornchanit (Sand) Sunyabhisithkul and Woramon (May-May) Wattanawanitchakorn, and also by Singh (Leo) Atipunumphai, who will be reading Natural Sciences.

After six years at Shrewsbury, Praewkanit (Praew) Pichayangkul, (LSE, Economics) and Dontr (Dante) Lokitiyakul (UPenn) both earn 4 A*s, a feat matched by five students who have been at Shrewsbury for a much shorter time having joined us in the Sixth Form, seeking to benefit from the school’s innovative A level programme, co-curricular offerings and award winning higher education support.

Having secured a place in Toronto, Himalaya Agrawal is now considering alternative options in Singapore and Hong Kong, Suppakit (Pan) Tungsanga takes heads to the University of Bath to read Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, and Narin Tananitaporn will study Physics and Theoretical Physics at Imperial College London. Joining him at Imperial will be Thithat (Ken) Thepsutha (Civil Engineering), and Panlada (Namwan) Trirotanan (Biological Sciences), whose decision to return to Shrewsbury for her A level studies is rewarded by an excellent placement to world top 10 ranked university.

Equipped with excellent results across the board, the Class of 2019 cohort, who together achieved some 477 university offers, now head to leading universities in Europe, Asia, and prestigious US institutions including Berkeley, Cornell, Duke, and UPenn.

Commenting on the results, Riverside Principal Mr. Chris Seal said:

“Naturally I’m delighted that yet again the Shrewsbury community has produced such excellence, and that we see students of all abilities over-achieving in public examinations. The inspiring individual stories show just what young people are capable of when encouraged and offered a great learning environment and expert support. Collaboration is at the heart of our learning community and our students are indebted to their parents, our teachers, and our award winning Higher Education department who open access to the very best institutions. Our students should be proud of themselves. We certainly are.”
