A Level Students Achieve Record Success

Harris Academy Chafford Hundred Students achieved excellent results once again at A Level and BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma.

Students at Harris Academy Chafford Hundred are celebrating another year of excellent results. Progression has been very strong with four students going on to read Medicine. Approximately 70% of the students graduating from the Sixth Form this year will go on to study at a range of universities, with over 30% of them securing places at the highly rated Russell Group universities.

Despite many changes to the curriculum, A Level students achieved a 100% pass rate this year. 54% of grades received by Chafford Hundred students were B or above and 23% were the very top grades – A* and A.

Nicky Graham, Executive Principal of Harris Academy Chafford Hundred, said: “All of the students have worked with great effort and energy throughout their time in the sixth form and are thoroughly deserving of their successes. It has been a pleasure to work with such a delightful group of committed students and I cannot wait to hear how they get on.”
