A tremendous 93% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and maths, with 88% achieving grade 5 or above in the two subjects. At the higher levels, nearly half (48%) of all students achieved a grade 7 or above in English and maths.
These tremendous results are due to the unique culture and community that has developed at The Hurlingham Academy. The highest expectations of students and real academic rigour are combined with a strong focus on developing the whole child and embedding a culture in which every single child matters, and must be supported to achieve their full potential. 42% of our students are pupil premium (nearly twice the national average) and so we are working to help some of the UK's most economically needy students achieve the best GCSE results possible and thus change lives.
