A’ LEVEL RESULTS RANK AMONG THE BEST, PRE-AND POST- PANDEMIC

CONGRATUALTIONS TO ALL OF OUR YEAR 13 STUDENTS

We are delighted with the A level results announced last week, which are among the best in the school’s history. It is a fantastic set of results for our students, and reflects a great deal of hard work and commitment. Congratulations go to the girls themselves and all of their teachers. The competition for top university places on the most highly sought courses is stronger than ever and our students must be praised for achieving their very high ambitions. Education, however, is about much more than getting good grades and in addition to their exam success, the students leave us as bright, ambitious and thoughtful young people with so much to offer. They have a very exciting time ahead and everyone at the school is very proud of them and their achievements.

The achievement of our all our students is the result of their talent, hard work and enthusiasm in addition to outstanding teaching and committed support from their teachers and parents. We are very grateful to our staff and parents for all they do to help the students of HBS achieve their very best.
