2025 Examination Results

As we enter our third year of A-Level results, we're so proud of this cohort and their success. Both students and staff have worked exceptionally hard over the past two years and we're pleased to say that this hard work has payed off in the sum of such amazing results. 

Over one third of all entries achieved A*-B grades (or equivalent) with almost a fifth (19%) achieving the top A* and A grades (or equivalent). 100% of vocational students passed their qualifications, with a huge 70% achieving a Distinction or Distinction* grade.

The Academy’s exceptional results mean that students can now take up places at some of the country’s leading universities to study subjects such as Architecture, Psychology, Computer Science and Biochemistry.

 

Sarah Heuston, Head of School, said:

"We are incredibly proud of our students and staff for these phenomenal results. The progress our students have made is a testament to their hard work, the support of their families, and the dedication of our teaching team. We are a Sixth Form academy in our fifth year and our results are improving year on year, even as we grow significantly in numbers."

 

Here are some of our fantastic year 13s and their success stories.

 

Damilola

Having only been in the UK for two years, Damilola Adinlewa is celebrating fantastic results today (A*AB) and is set to take up a place at Brunel University to study Medicine. Originally from Nigeria, Dami came to the UK with her family in search of better opportunities.

"My teachers at Harris Clapham Sixth Form have been incredibly helpful. They really helped me navigate the university application process and work out which universities to apply for."
