Commenting on this year’s results, Leon Wilson, Principal at The Hurlingham Academy, said:  

“It has been fantastic to see students celebrating not only some exceptional individual performances today but a set of results for the whole cohort that puts us among some of the best schools in the country.

“Each student has been a credit to themselves during their time at The Hurlingham Academy – showing character and determination amid the challenges of the pandemic and excelling in their GCSE studies.

“These results will provide strong foundations for success as they move onto Sixth Form and further study – we can’t wait to see what they do next.”
