Key Stage 4 Examination Results

GCSE success at Harris Academy St John’s Wood

2019 was a remarkable year for GCSE results at Harris Academy St John’s Wood and the provisional results would place the school in the top 2% of schools in England for the last academic year. This is a stunning transformation from 2017. 83% of Year 11 will progress to our Sixth Form Year 12 provision and we are very proud of that fact. We have helped others gain placements at local Sixth Form Colleges and in apprenticeships.

In summary:

• 74% of students achieved Grade 4 English and maths;
• 90% of students achieved a Grade 4 pass or higher in English and 76% did so in maths;
• The EBacc remains strong and considerably higher than last year’s national average at 33%;
• 37 students or 12% gained the new ‘super’ Grade 9;
• 24 students took triple science, with 15% of entries achieving the new ‘super’ Grade 9, which is equivalent to an A**.

Nick Soar, Executive Principal of Harris Academy St John’s Wood, said:

“Our results are outstanding and reflect the many, many hours of hard work that our students have dedicated to their examinations. They can feel justifiably proud of a strong set of results which open the doors to so many possibilities at high quality universities and employers. We hope we have enriched the cultural lives of our young people.

I am particularly pleased with our students’ breath-taking achievements in the basics of English and Mathematics and in subjects such as Biology and Computer Science where 67% and 43% of students gained a 7+. We are an outward facing school whose students are looking to the future with academic confidence.

Well done, congratulations and thank you to all students, as well as the inspirational teachers and parents who supported them through their examinations.”
