Our Chief Guest and Principal Speaker will be our former student, James Potts, a researcher and assistant to the Deputy Mayor of London.

There will be a special award ceremony followed by an informal reception so why not come along and celebrate with us.  Guests are required to be seated by 6.30pm.

St Edmund’s is very pleased with its best ever A Level Results this year:   all of our students were successful with 35% of students achieving A* or A grades this year.

Our top achieving student is Deputy Head Boy, Adria Dongo Munoz with a total point score of 220 and average point score of 55. He achieved A* grades in Mathematics and Chemistry, with A grades in Further Mathematics and Physics.  Adria is is closely followed by Maciej Myszczynski who achieved three A grades in Electronics, Mathematics and Physics. Head Girl, Natasha Dawes has A grades in English Literature and Government & Politics and B grades in History and Psychology. These three students have others “hot on their heels” with many students having at least one A* or A grade in their collection of results and high average point scores.

Principal Maggie Hughes said,

“The most joyous aspect of this year’s results is the wide range of subject success. All students taking Sport, IT, Theatre Studies, English Literature, Film Studies, French, Further Mathematics and Psychology gained the highest grades and the majority of students taking Business, Chemistry, Electronics, Geography, Government & Politics, Graphics (Architecture), History, Mathematics and Sociology students also achieved high grades.

This is testament to the persistence and work hard of our students, who are supported by well-qualified, experienced and dedicated teachers with the highest professional standards. They deliver best quality teaching and guidance for the young people they serve.

Yet again, by working together our community of young people and professionals can enjoy outstanding outcomes. Join St Edmund’s sixth-form and you can be confident of success”
