HGAED Students Celebrate Record GCSE Exam Results

We are delighted to report that 33% of grades are at Grade 7 or above, compared to 21.7% nationally.

Seventy seven per cent of results are at Grade 4+, a key indicator of academic success, compared with 67.4% nationally.

“We could not be prouder of our 2024 GCSE students and all they have achieved," said Principal, Jo Young. "This cohort of students have worked diligently over their five years at the academy and have performed exceptionally well achieving the highest number of Grade 7 – 9 (A, A*, A**) in the history of the academy.

"In addition to their exceptional exam performance, this cohort have continually demonstrated our HGAED values of character, courage and conscience. I am so proud of their personal and academic achievements and look forward to seeing what they accomplish in the future.

"My sincere thanks go to our teachers and support staff for their commitment, passion and excellence in ensuring every student acquires expert knowledge, confidence and the belief that everything is possible.”
