A-Level Results 2007
These are the best A-level results in the School's History, and continues the trend in improved public examination results since the mid-1990s. Over half of all A-levels sat in June 2007 were at grade A. Almost 90% A-C grades.
14 members of the UVI (a cohort of 47 pupils) achieved straight grade As. Cohort academic strengths were well spread across the Sciences, Humanities and Languages.

19 candidates achieved a UCAS tariff of over 400, with a highest tariff of 600, representing 5 A-levels at grade A, achieved by one candidate. The school average of 350 UCAS points per candidate is the highest in Scotland. The average number of A-levels per candidate (including AS certifications as ½ an A-level) is 3.7, also the highest in Scotland.
Bearing in mind that Loretto is essentially a non-selective school, and that all year 13 candidates are entered for A-level examinations (few other schools in Scotland do this), all relevant academic indicators suggest that Loretto has become one of the strongest academic schools in the country.
