Students at Chiswick School are celebrating their A Level results today – More than 70% of students studying Maths, English Literature, History, Politics, Philosophy or Sociology secured grades between A and B.

The art department did particularly well – 77% of A Level Art students achieved an A or A*.

The results were ‘fantastic’ said the school, reinforcing Chiswick School’s position as ‘a high-performing, inclusive Sixth Form.

‘As one of the area’s largest and most inclusive post-16 provisions, Chiswick School’s Sixth Form continues to grow in both size and reputation’.

Across all subjects more than 30% of all grades were awarded at A* or A, which is higher than the national average of 28.7% in England.

Chiswick results above the national average at a school which is ‘genuinely inclusive’

This year has been a good year for students nationally, with students achieving record grades. More than a quarter of a million 18-year-olds will be going on to higher education.

Chiswick School students have secured places at Russell Group universities across the country, including Oxford and Cambridge.

“What makes these results special isn’t just how strong they are, but who is succeeding”, said Chiswick’s Head of Sixth Form, Christian Williams:

“Our students have shown that academic excellence and genuine inclusion should go hand in hand. I’m incredibly proud of what they have achieved, but even more excited about where they go from here.

“Whether that is Oxford or Cambridge, Medicine, an apprenticeship or another ambitious next step, these results open doors – and that is ultimately what a great Sixth Form should do”.

Headteacher Laura Ellener added:

“I am immensely proud of our students and staff today. At Chiswick School, every young person is given the opportunity to excel, and we are thrilled that in contrast to national trends our SEND and disadvantaged students perform on par with all their peers. That level of equality and achievement is what true success looks like.”
