The students at Harris Battersea celebrated a fantastic set of GCSE results for 2023. Despite all the disruption to their education the students achieved great outcomes and were rightly proud of their success.
Our provisional Progress 8 score is 0.1
69% of students achieved a 4+ in both English and Maths
52% of students achieved a 5+ in both English and Maths versus a National average of 45%
80% of students entered the EBacc against a National Average of 39%
View our Department for Education performance information.
Highlights of 2023 included:
Two students who we are especially proud of, Chelsea and Tianna, had to show incredible resilience to be able to sit their examinations. Nevertheless, both students managed to secure strong passes and above in all of their subjects. Chelsea’s distinction star in Sport Science and Tianna picking up a grade 7 in English Literature were special highlights.
Many students continued their education with HABS in our successful Sixth Form, with others going on to other great Post-16 provisions around London. We are excited to see how students embrace the opportunities these results open up for their futures.
Mr Comerford, the new Head of Academy, said: “Our Academy’s mission is to develop aspirational young people to thrive in a changing world. Everyone in our HABS community is so proud of all the students for what they have achieved this year.
"Our core value of resilience could not have been more clearly demonstrated by this cohort. Their dedication and hard work, in combination with the outstanding teaching and learning delivered by our experienced staff, has led to this success.
"Thank you to everyone involved in the Academy and in supporting our students, especially parents and staff.”
