We are celebrating the success of our wonderful and talented leavers. They worked incredibly hard to show off their skills, knowledge and progress all through their time at Hurtwood – and had a fabulous time here to boot! We admire them and congratulate them!
They have achieved excellence in their final examination results. 54% of all grades awarded were either A* or A, and 20% of all grades were actually A*, the very highest available. 86% of grades were A*, A and B, demonstrating the excellent academic and creative skillsets of our students. 9 of our students were awarded three or more A* grades. This year, 20 students submitted the very demanding Extended Project Qualification, and we are delighted to see that 15 of them achieved A or A* grades in this qualification.
We are also thrilled that almost all of our students are currently in the process of confirming their firm choice university places to study a diverse range of courses from Film Production to Physics, Marketing to Medicine, and Linguistics to Law. Students have secured places at traditional institutions including UCL, Durham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds and St Andrews. A wide range of creative and media courses are now also confirmed at an array of institutions including University of the Arts London, Royal Welsh Conservatoire, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, London Film Academy, the Courtauld Institute of Art, and Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. Hurtwood students are unafraid to venture overseas, and we are delighted that many are on their way to study abroad at institutions including New York Film Academy, IE University Madrid, Savannah College of Art & Design, University of Maastricht, University of California and John Cabot University of Rome.
We wish them every success for life beyond Hurtwood!
