Students Celebrate Another Year of Excellent A Level Results
Students at Harris Boys’ Academy East Dulwich are once again celebrating excellent A Level results today.
With the popularity of the Sixth Form continuing to grow, the largest ever cohort of students completed a wide range of A Level and vocational qualifications this summer. Over 60% of the cohort will take up Russell Group offers at University next year, with all students continuing into employment, training or further education.
There are so many success stories, but the highlights for A Levels are David (pictured below), who achieved A*AA in Maths, Biology and Chemistry and will go onto study Medicine at Exeter University.
Michael also achieved A*AA in English Literature, History and Law as well a Distinction in ICT. Michael will study Law at Queen Mary University.
Nirojan (pictured below with Mr Brett and Mr Chan) achieved AAB in Computer Science, Maths and Economics and will now study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the University of Warwick.
Many of our students benefit from our variety of subjects on offer, and complete combinations of A Levels and vocational qualifications.
The ability to study such a range of mixed pathways is a real unique selling point for our Sixth Form.
Khryn (pictured below with Mr Brett and Mr Chan) achieved Distinction* and AA in Business, Economics and Sociology. Khyrn has secured a full scholarship place at the University of Reading to study Real Estate and Finance.
Kyrell M. achieved AB and a Distinction in History, Law and Applied Science, and will study Law at Queen Mry University.
Hamza achieved Distinction* and AB in Business, Maths and Economics and will study Political Economy at Kings College London.
From our vocational courses, Ellias and Daniyal both achieved triple Distinction* in Business and ICT. They both will now study Business Management at Queen Mary University.
Many of our students have also been successful in gaining much coveted apprenticeships with Mitchell (pictured below) securing the standout place at Tokio Marine Kiln as an Underwriting Apprentice. These places are so highly sought after, the application and interview process is extremely competitive and rigorous.
Highest average points per entry ever achieved
Overall, the results were the highest average points per entry ever achieved at the academy. Special mention must go to the staff and students from A Level Maths and History, as well our vocational Sport, ICT and Business who all significantly outperformed national comparisons for their subjects.
"We are so proud of the achievements of our Sixth Form students," said Principal Chris Brett. "They have worked so hard, and shown so much dedication in what for many of them has been a seven-year journey at Harris Boys’ Academy East Dulwich. I want to congratulate them but also thank their families and the wonderful staff here at the school that have supported the students so much in their time with us’.
Mr Chan, Assistant Principal for 6th Form said: "Seeing these students go off to top Russell Group Universities is so pleasing. I know they will thrive in their next destinations and enjoy truly life changing experiences. I can’t wait for them to come back and talk to our next cohorts about being the doctors or the lawyers of the future."
