A Level Results 2020

We are proud that students in extremely difficult circumstances have been supported to achieve an excellent set of outcomes. 50% of all results were A*/B grades and over a quarter were A*/A grades. There are outstanding individual performances including Mya Henry and Josh Szarowicz who achieved A*A*A*, Seth Harris and Erin Mantle who received A*A*A grades and Brianna Adedeji, Hannah Carter-Moore, Eleanor Coombe, Luka Elliott, Freddie Forbes Adam, Kate Fothergill, Leonie Haddad and Aaron Mighty who all achieved A*AA grades. At Btec, over three quarters of the grades achieved were either Distinction* or Distinction with Hollie Lane and Emanuella Kanga-Dean both achieving double Distinction*. Many students have accepted places at Russell Group Universities, including four students who have gained a place at Oxbridge. Other students have won places at Imperial College, UCL, Kings, Manchester and the University of Edinburgh. Leon Human has won a place at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. We are delighted for those students who have won places at highly rated Art Colleges. We realise that there is continuing uncertainty regarding outcomes and appeals. We continue to support Year 13 students during these uncertain times. Head of Sixth Form Simon Conway stated that, “Although this has been a challenging year, our students have performed superbly and are benefitting from the huge amount of hard work they have put into their studies over the last two years. We are so proud that they have gained places at some of the most prestigious Universities in the country and we look forward to watching them develop into the leaders of the future.”
