As promised in the last Harrovian it is with great pleasure that this week I am able to report on our best set of IGCSE results ever.

Over 90% of all grades achieved were A*-C. This is significantly ahead of the UK state school average (67%) and only marginally behind the UK independent school average (94%) – a notable achievement when one considers that many of our students study for these examinations in a second language. 

Even more impressively nearly half of all IGCSE grades achieved (47%) were A*/A, again a figure that puts us well ahead of UK averages and in line with the UK independent sector. 

 
The following students received Head Master’s certificates in Assembly this week as recognition of their excellent performance in their external examinations:
 
 

Again, congratulations to the students on achieving such a phenomenal set of results and thank you to the teachers for all of the hard work that goes into ensuring that such excellent performance is possible. 

For parents, I trust that you will take these grades and the university destinations as further affirmation that, whatever a student’s aspirations and wherever they wish to study, Harrow is well placed to prepare students for successful university careers.

Have a good weekend.

Denry Machin,
Head of Secondary
