A ‘second year of strong A-level results’ is cause for delight at The Charter School

Staff and students at The Charter School, East Dulwich, are celebrating their second year of A-level and BTEC
results since opening the sixth form in 2021.

Results improved on last year’s excellent first cohort and students across the year group excelled in their outcomes.

The average A-level point score was 37.1 (Grade B) – above national and Southwark 2023 averages. In summary, 27 per cent of all A-level grades sat by students achieved A/A, with 56 per cent at a grade B or higher and 80 per cent of all A-level grades sat by students at the school achieved A-C – an increase from 73 per cent in 2023.

The vast majority of students will progress to their first choice of university, college or apprenticeship, with 80 per cent of students securing a place at their choice of university.

Subject areas which particularly excelled include physics (40 per cent A/A), sociology (52 per cent A/A), English literature (86 per cent B+) and BTEC sports (70 per cent distinction*/distinction)

Headteacher Alison Harbottle said: “I am so proud of all our Year 13 students and their wonderful A-level results achieved this summer.

“Their hard work and dedication to their studies has really paid off, with so many excited to be joining their first-choice universities and courses next year.

“As we celebrate these results together I wish all our Year 13s the very best in their next steps.”

Most of the students have their next steps mapped out. These include Jai Brand (architecture, Cardiff University), Alexa Ball (electrical and electronic engineering, Cardiff University), Gus Leggat (UAL, music production), Amira Collins (Queen Mary University of London, biology), Nazifa Munayem (University of Bristol, politics and international relations), Mouna Soussi (Queen Mary University of London, business banagement), Emer Gillion Turner (University of Leeds, ancient history), Thomas Griffiths (University of Cambridge, computer science) and Lauren Haggis (University of Oxford, law).

Precious Afolabi and Waeil Ali also shone through – both achieving two distinctions in their BTEC level 3 extended certificate qualifications in sport and business.
