Exams at home

Since 2020 the school has been a Cambridge exam venue, approved by the British Council. O Level and A Level students sit their exams in the school's own hall, in a building they know.

From the school's results summary for the May–June 2026 exam session. "Others" means all grades below C (below c at AS Level). What the grades mean.

02AchievementAwards and firsts

Honoured every year.

Every year, Playpen students receive The Daily Star Awards: for six or more A grades at O Level, and for three or more A grades at A Level. The record goes back to 2003, when the school's first O Level candidate earned straight A grades in all seven subjects. Many former students have since gone on to study at universities abroad.
