Students and schools in Hounslow are celebrating impressive results, achieving an overall pass rate of 97.3% in A Levels and 98.9% in BTEC qualifications.
73% of A Level results were awarded at grades A*- C with 6.2% at top grade A*, up from last year.
44 students passed the new advanced technical qualifications, T Levels. Designed with employers, these programmes can support young people to progress to higher and degree-level apprenticeships.
Councillor Samia Chaudhary, Cabinet Member for Education, Children, Skills, and Employment at Hounslow Council, joined students at The Green School for Girls in Isleworth to celebrate their achievements and commented:
"I am immensely proud of our students for their achievements. I also want to thank the teachers who work tirelessly to support our young people in unleashing their potential, especially those with special educational needs who often require additional assistance in both learning and wellbeing. We are fortunate that all secondary schools in Hounslow are recognised by Ofsted as either ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’, ensuring the best outcome for our young people.”
Mrs Sally Yarrow, Executive Headteacher of The Green School Trust, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted and proud of our students for achieving their excellent A-Level and BTEC results. These students are trailblazers - being the first cohort of Green School for Boys and the first Year 13 students to join with our Year 13 girls at The Green School Sixth Form, judged as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted this year. Their dedication and commitment to their studies and contribution to our school communities has been inspiring. We would like to thank our staff and families for enabling our students to flourish and develop as caring young adults - epitomising our Trust motto of ‘Expanding Hearts and Minds’.”
Councillor Tom Bruce, Deputy Leader of Hounslow Council and Cabinet Member for Assets, Regeneration and Development, met with students in The Heathland School in Hounslow on the results day and said:
“It has been a great privilege to speak to students today about their success and achievements with their A Levels, as well as hearing about their plans for the future. Whatever the outcome, I want to congratulate everyone receiving their results for their hard work in getting this far in their education journey. Whether you are going on university, taking part in an apprenticeship or going into employment, I wish you all the best for the future.”
