Families were celebrating at Leighton Park this morning, with the School seeing an increase of 8 percentage points in 9-7 grades. 56% of grades were 9-7, with a whopping 41% of grades at 9-8 and 21% of grades at 9. Matthew, Head of Leighton Park, was very pleased with the results: “The success we are celebrating today is a shared one. It reflects the close-knit community we nurture here, where students support each other, staff go above and beyond, and parents play a crucial role in our collective achievements. Our students have not only excelled academically but have done so with kindness, humility, and a deep respect for one another—qualities we value as much as their grades. We are also thrilled that almost all of our students will be continuing their educational journey with us, proceeding to our Sixth Form to pursue their chosen courses in our brand-new Sixth Form Study Centre, Grove.” Read the news story: https://lnkd.in/eVbw7UmH #GCSEresultsday #GCSE #Iloveboarding

Leighton Park students are celebrating a stellar set of A Level results. The School saw a 17% increase in A*-B grades this year, with 74% of grades at this level. 41% of grades were A*-A against a national average of 28%. Congratulations to all our students for their incredible dedication. The proud parents of one student celebrating her A*, A* A with an A* in her EPQ to secure her place to study Music at Oxford reflected: “She worked so hard and didn’t let up. She had fantastic support, has been so inspired and enjoyed the journey. It is a fantastic community.”
