Harrodian is delighted to be to be able to announce another outstanding set of public examination results this year, with students performing well across no fewer than 30 different subjects at A Level and 27 in GCSE exams.
A Levels
This year, 91% of Harrodian A Level students succeeded in securing a place at their first choice or ‘insurance offer’ university in the UK, USA, Canada or Europe with 29 of them choosing to defer entry by taking a gap year.
Almost two thirds (63%) of the places gained by our students are at Russell Group universities in the UK, while around ten per cent of Harrodians who opted to look overseas, have secured places at institutions abroad, including universities in the USA and Canada and leading European business schools in Paris and Madrid.
51% of all grades were A*/A and 86% at A*/A/B. 6 students achieved straight A*s (19 between them) whilst a further 15 were awarded straight A*/A grades.
Degree subject selection was as diverse as the range of destinations, encompassing Science, Medicine and Engineering through Business and Economics to Politics and Sport. Meanwhile, as always, a substantial contingent of Harrodian Sixth Form leavers are set to pursue their passion for creative and performing arts at tertiary level with ten per cent of our students choosing degrees or professional training courses at creative institutions including the Courtauld Institute of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Music, Central Film School, London, and RADA.

GCSE
This year's Harrodian cohort matched last year's best-ever tally of 9-7 grades at GCSE (75 per cent), with 36 students achieving a clean sweep of 7s, 8s and 9s.
The Headmaster was specially impressed by the students' efforts this year. 'This is a group of boys and girls which faced 18 months of disruption to their Prep stage education,’ Mr Hooke points out. ‘But they've really worked hard to overcome that disadvantage and can be very proud of what they've achieved.'
The Average Points Score (APS) of this year’s GCSE cohort underlines the Headmaster's point. This year’s APS across all GCSE subjects is 7.4, a figure which has increased since the results of Harrodian’s last pre-pandemic student cohort back in 2019.

James Hooke, Harrodian Headmaster
Mr Bryn Davies, outgoing Harrodian Head of Year 11 (15s), is full of admiration for the GCSE students’ achievements ‘The 15s worked extremely hard throughout their exams and showed grit and determination as well as maturity and dedication to their studies,’ he says. ‘It’s been an absolute pleasure to be their Head of Year and I’m sure they will flourish in the Sixth Form.’
