Print Friendly, PDF & Email

One in three examinations was grade A* at IGCSE, more than half A*A, and three quarters A*- B! All percentages up on 2015, recognising the hard work and focus of staff and students.We are confident this upward trajectory will continue in 2017 with a strong (and very large) cohort of students entering year 11 after a successful first year of the course.

Our A level students celebrated some outstanding successes and head off to top universities around the world. Yan Kit Tan is heading for University College London, to study Economics and Business with East European Studies, after securing A*A*A*A grades, Jia Qin Lim is off to the London School of Economics with his A*A*AA grades, and top of the table this year was Erin Chan with A*A*A*AA who is considering a wealth of options.

Head Boy Vince De Leon has secured a prestigious music scholarship to the Berklee College of Music Boston Massachusetts in the USA which he has deferred while he completes a host of music projects and commissions here at home. 17 students are off to UK universities, others to Australia, the US and France.We wish all our alumni as they set off for their many destinations, success and enjoyment.
