Record A Level results for Harrow

Nearly a quarter of collegiate students were awarded the top A*/A grades while over half gained A*-B grades and more than three out of four students achieved grades A*-C.

These impressive results mean that almost all students got the grades they needed to progress to their chosen university in a very competitive year for university places.

Portfolio holder for schools and colleges, Cllr Brian Gate said:

"These results surpass even the previous excellent record we hold in Harrow . This is a great result and a credit to the hard work of students, teachers and staff at all of our high schools. Education is so important and I am pleased to see that as a community we continue to value it so highly. I would also like to congratulate Shaftesbury High School and Kingsley High School for all that their young people have achieved in their 6th Forms this year. Both of these schools make an excellent contribution to the learning and well being of students in Harrow with educational needs outside of the mainstream."
