EASTBURY A LEVEL RESULTS AUGUST 2011

In August 2011 sixth form students celebrated a 97% pass rate at A level including a fantastic 71% of grades at A* to C which saw the Sixth Form’s results surpass national average for the first time. Our QCA point score of 763.4 was a record and smashed the school’s previous best performance.  Targets have been exceeded and it is expected that over 90% of students completing the sixth form will be progressing to University. The school feels that its students have done so well due to their own outstanding efforts, quality teaching and the challenge of an environment where their skills and confidence have been developed by a comprehensive enrichment programme including established links with businesses all over London, charity and community fundraising and inspirational workshops with guests such as the most recent, Alastair Campbell.

Students are going on to study a wide variety of subjects, at a prestigious range of Universities such as Bristol, Kings, Leeds, Manchester and Royal Holloway to take courses including Biomedical Science, Economics, English Literature, Law, Maths, Mechanical Engineering, Physics and Sports Journalism.
