Record success for sixth formers in this year's examinations

A fantastic set of A level results was achieved by Chiswick Community School students this year. Thirty three percent of results were in the A and A* category. This was double the number achieved last year. One in ten results was an A*, the new grade denoting exceptional achievement. Ten students achieved at least three As.

Head Boy, Jonny Manfield, achieved two A stars and an A. He has been accepted by University College London to study Engineering. ‘I feel very relieved to have got in. I just wish I could have achieved an A star in Physics too. I have been really well supported at Chiswick and would like to wish everyone at the school well.’ Robert Berchtold achieved 4 As and is going to Edinburgh to study Biochemistry. ’I am delighted with my results and am really looking forward to starting my course’.

Students at Chiswick have been successful in a diverse range of subject areas from Business Management through to Art. Harvin Alert has gained a place at Kingston to take an Art and Design foundation course. ‘Kingston is in the top ten foundation courses in the country so I am really delighted to have been given a place, said Harvin who gained As in Art and Photography.
