GCSE candidates at Latymer Upper School in Hammersmith are today celebrating results which, even by the School’s already high standards, are exceptional.

Just over 90% of grades were at A*/A, with 63% of those being A*.

All pupils achieved the national benchmark of 5 A*-C grades, and a staggering 113 gained at least 5 A* grades; 62 pupils were awarded 8 or more A* grades, 22 of whom had 10 or more A* grades.

Incoming Head David Goodhew commented:
“I warmly congratulate our pupils, and their teachers, on these superb results. ‘Record-breaking’ is an overused phrase in the context of exams, let alone in an Olympic year, but how else can one describe such impressive, and richly deserved, success? I am very excited by the prospect of what they will accomplish in our Sixth Form.”

The results come a week after Latymer sixth formers celebrated another record year of outstanding results at A-Level, matching last year’s all-time high and with record numbers taking four or more full A-Levels.
