Hammersmith Academy continues rapid journey of success

Headteacher, Mr Kynaston, celebrates with GCSE students on results day.

The Academy is celebrating its strongest set of GCSE results to date, with 88% of the cohort entered for the English Baccalaureate, the most rigorous of governmental measures. This is far and above the national average and a clear indication of the rigorous and challenging curriculum Hammersmith Academy follows.

Once again, there have been increases in students attaining grades at the 9-7 and 9-4 boundaries, with progress exceeding national average at every measure. This is all the more impressive given the Academy’s principle of a fair-banded cohort, meaning students at every ability levels are equally represented.

Our GCSE Key Statistics:

  • 74% of students achieved 9-4 grades
  • 88% of students attained 9-4 grades in English
  • 80% of students attained 9-5 grades in English
  • 80% of students attained 9-4 in Maths
  • 40% of students attained the English Baccalaureate, massively eclipsing the 22% national average
  • Impressive increases in Maths, Science, Humanities and Languages
  • Exceeded national average at every measure

Headteacher Gary Kynaston said:

“I am delighted with the outstanding set of results achieved by this year’s GCSE cohort. They continue the superb progress the Academy has made annually since our first set of GCSE results four years ago and it clearly demonstrates the positive direction we are moving in. Not only are our students able to succeed far and above the national average, they do so alongside the rigorous English Baccalaureate system. The continued success upholds the belief in our ethos that any student who enters through the gate can succeed regardless of ability if they apply themselves and embrace our professional standards to studying. I thank all the staff and parents for their enduring support of the students and I congratulate our GCSE students for achieving the best set of result to date and look forward to welcoming them into our Sixth Form in September.”
