Spectacular GCSE Results at The Hurlingham Academy

28 August 2018 / Categories: News

Students and staff at The Hurlingham Academy are celebrating another year of spectacular GCSE success at the school. 84% of students achieved five or more 9-4/A*-C grades including English and maths, under this year's new GCSE grading structure. This is double the number who achieved the equivalent measure in 2014, just before the school joined United Learning and became an academy.

Wider improvements have also been achieved across the board, including on government's combined English and maths measure. This year, 86% of students achieved at least a grade 4 in both subjects, and 64% achieved at least a 5. In addition, a number of students achieved multiple grade 9s - the new highest level possible. These included:

Elissavet Germanidou, who achieved six 9s, two A*s and a 6;
Jade Long, who achieved six 9s, an 8 and a 7;
Allysa Holdsworth, who achieved four 9s, two 8s, two 7s and an A;
Salvatore Peterson, who achieved three 9s, three 8s, two 7s and an A.

Leon Wilson, Principal of The Hurlingham Academy, said:

"All our students can take great pride in their achievements today which are yet another indicator of how far we have come as a school. Our year on year success is testament to everyone's efforts and hard work - students, staff, parents and governors. "

"We have always known that this school had significant potential and it is such a pleasure to see this come to fruition. It is truly a school that London can be proud of."

"I know these results will provide further motivation for all our younger year groups, confident in the knowledge that they have the potential to achieve and indeed exceed today's successes in the future."

Dame Sally Coates, Director of Secondary Academies at United Learning, said:

"I am very pleased for everyone at The Hurlingham Academy, who are celebrating yet another excellent set of results. Leon Wilson and his team deserve significant praise for the transformation they have achieved since the school joined United Learning in 2015. These outstanding results are testament to the ethos and vision that are displayed by everyone across the school and to Leon's infections enthusiasm and belief in what his students can achieve."

We are currently in the month of Ramadan. Many know Ramadan as a time for fasting, where those participating abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours. We recognise that this can be a challenge for many, and I would just like to take this opportunity to say how pleased I have been with pupils commitment to their studies over the past couple of weeks.

On Monday we held our termly parent forum. This is always one of my favourite evenings of the term. Of course, it is fantastic to hear all the things that you think we are doing well here at the school, but it was also great to hear your suggestions about how we can improve. I always say that it is only by working together that we will achieve the best for our children.

Following our assembly with Mme Francis on Monday, which celebrated all things reading and world book day, I started thinking about how much we can learn from books. We can learn about different cultures, times in history, be transported to different parts of the world, or possibly different parts of the galaxy.
