Over half of Year 13 leavers have secured places at Russell Group universities including Muby Ahmed and Nahla Salim who both achieved two A*s and one A securing places to read Medicine at University College London.
Collecting her results, Nahla said:
“I couldn’t have done it without the support I got from my teachers. At times when I thought my hard work wasn’t enough, they made me understand that it is just as important to believe in yourself whilst working hard for your goals. Thank you for everything!”
