The Hurlingham Academy Students Receive GCSE Results

Students at the Hurlingham Academy are celebrating taking their next steps as young adults after receiving their GCSE grades today.

As a result of COVID-19, students and staff across the country have found themselves in an unprecedented situation this year with the cancellation of GCSE examinations.  Students have therefore been awarded grades based on what their teachers predicted they would achieve, except in cases where the model created by Ofqual has awarded a higher grade.

As regular readers of the newsletters will know, I absolutely love the festive season. As soon as December hits in my house, the Christmas tree goes up, in all it’s flashing glory. I have also increased the number of Christmas trees we have up in school, to really get into the festive spirit.

This It has been another incredibly busy week here at The Hurlingham Academy. On Wednesday we had our school drop down day. During periods 1-3 years 7 and 8 were studying a wide range of computing skills ranging from spreadsheets to coding. I have to say from walking around the school, I was blown away by some of our year 7 pupil’s coding knowledge– although I really felt my age as I most definitely did not learn this at school.


Newsletter 22.11.24

After a week of rest, reflection and revision, both staff and students have come back to school this week full of energy. For years 11, I’m sure much of half term was spent creating revision timetables and preparing for their upcoming mocks. For all students, the ability to recall information that they have learned previously is vital.
