Our prestigious Go Further Awards celebrate the successes of the top performing OxfordAQA students from around the world.
Every year we are impressed by the brilliant and inspirational stories that we’ve heard from our schools and the amazing successes that students have gone on to achieve.
OxfordAQA Go Further Awards – announcing our 2025 winners
By completing their OxfordAQA qualifications, students are well on their way to developing the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they will need for personal, academic and career success.
The Go Further Awards celebrate exam excellence and are awarded to the OxfordAQA students who have achieved the highest mark in their subject at International GCSE, AS and A-level*. Each award is testament to the outstanding efforts of the student, along with their teachers and support teams. We also want to acknowledge and congratulate every student on their effort and perseverance throughout their personal learning journeys.
Winning candidates are recognised with the following awards:
- OxfordAQA Top in Country
- OxfordAQA Top in Region
- OxfordAQA Top in World
