79% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in Maths. This is above the national average for Maths, which was 71.9%.

The percentage of students who achieved a grade 7–9 was particularly impressive and significantly above the national average in English Language, English Literature, Drama, Media, Art and Spanish. 

The year group performed very well, which reflects the hard work, determination and talent of our students, the expertise and commitment of the staff and the support of our families and wider community.

Our students combine their studies alongside a full vocational commitment. The students kept up their motivation throughout the year and their January mocks proved to be good practice for the real exams.

Students have stayed committed to making improvements, such as attending additional maths lessons before school and lunchtime English clubs, and that has made a big difference. As a year group, they embody so much talent, energy and ambition.

It is important to remember that this year's group started Year 7 in the midst of a global pandemic, with these results being testament to their resilience and perseverance. They were in Year 6 when the first lockdown began and started secondary school shortly before schools closed to most students for the second time in early 2021.

Our students leave us to continue their studies at a variety of prestigious institutes, including; Ashbourne College, ArtsEd, Hurtwood House, Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, Laines Theatre Art, D&B Academy of Performing Arts, Italia Conti, Wilkes Academy of Performing Arts, Elam, St Columba’s College, South Hampstead School, Miskin Theatre, Fashion Retail Academy, Bedales, Emil Dale Academy, Clique College.  

Most importantly, our students leave us happy and confident and equipped to take the next step in accomplishing their long-term career dreams. We are excited to see what the future holds for each of them, and we wish the class of 2025 a very happy and successful future.
