“Our Head Girls are heading to the high courts.”

We are delighted to celebrate with both our Head Students as they have successfully gained a place at their first choice Russell Group university to study Law. Claire W gained A*AB in Art, English Literature and Sociology and is heading to Queen Mary’s University London and Eszter V gained AAB in English Literature, History and Sociology and is heading to Birmingham. We are extremely proud of their achievements and cannot wait to see what their future holds.

A number of students are also celebrating fantastic results, including Mary A who gained Distinction, Distinction, B in Health and Social Care, Enterprise/Entrepreneurship and Psychology, Rose R who gained ABB in Business, Psychology and History and Preesha P who gained BBB in Business, History and Psychology. All achieved their first choice university.

Our Principal, Tyrone Myton commented that “We are so proud of our students and recognise the hard work they have demonstrated in achieving the grades they required to progress in their journey.  No matter the starting point or background we are determined and committed to help all students reach their full potential.”

We would also like to highlight Kedar-Re who is our first student to be leaving us to start a career in the performing arts industry. Kedar is a talented musician and actor who has recently been signed by a talent agency.  He is also currently working and performing for the Multi Story Orchestra and has joined their educational team to tour around schools teaching the future generation songwriting skills. We are incredibly proud of him and cannot wait to see his musical career flourish. 

We are incredibly proud of all our students, with 44% achieving grade A*-B (or equivalent), and 36% of students achieving Distinction*- Distinction grades. Congratulations and well done to all our students.
