Harton Academy delighted with student’s results
Harton Academy has seen one of their strongest years in terms of positive future progression with over 75% of the year moving onto Higher Education. At present over 40% have secured places at research-led Russell Group Universities. There is an incredibly diverse range of courses that students are moving onto, including Sports Science, Engineering, Criminology, Law, Accounting and Finance, Economics, Nursing, Medicine, Music, Para-medic science, Sciences and many more. It is also great to see students spreading their wings and moving all over the UK.
The school recognises the hard work and commitment that the students and staff have put in, and a large percentage of them are now moving onto their chosen progression pathway. Many have secured places at universities all over the UK and some will be starting apprenticeships, school-leaver programmes or taking time to gain additional experiences and to consider their options.
The class of 2023 will have developed many supplementary skills and qualities through all the additional challenges they have faced and that will stand them in good stead in the future. In addition to the academic success, the school has also had record numbers of students achieve both the Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards. A team of students recently completed an amazing expedition to Morocco, which included summiting Mount Toubkal, stargazing and camel riding in the Sahara Desert. It is great that so many students embrace the opportunities and experiences that are offered at the 6th form in which students will look back positively and will have lasting memories.
David Amos, Head Teacher of Harton Academy said:
“We are delighted with the Year 13s’ A Level results this year! They are the final cohort of students who were unable to sit their GCSEs due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, so these examination results were the first formal exams they had sat since Year 6, when they did their SATs! They have shown superb resilience over the two years of their A Level courses, and there are notable successes. Harton has always emphasised the fabulous post-18 progression routes available to our students, and this year’s results will ensure they continue to flourish in their next steps, leaving us for new and exciting challenges. It has been a pleasure seeing the students develop not just academically but into well-rounded young people who will make a positive contribution to society in the future. We would all like to wish the students all the very best in the next stage of their lives and look forward to catching up with students at the Presentation Evening in December.”
