Hurst Fifth Form students celebrated some excellent GCSE results this summer. “I am” said Headmaster Tim Manly “very pleased indeed with Hurst’s GCSE results this year. They represent a terrific achievement by our pupils and the results have matched all-time College records. We are particularly pleased with the high number of pupils gaining 8 or more A*-A grades and that the exceptionally high percentage of A*-A last year has been maintained this year. On a broader front, some 85% of all our candidates have achieved A*-B grades in 10 or more subjects. These results shows the strength and depth of the academic education provided throughout Hurst and highlights, once again, that one of our very special strengths is in adding value to the results achieved by our pupils in public examinations.
"I cannot pass comment on these results without mentioning the quite extraordinary achievements of this year group beyond the classroom. They have learned to balance their many interests and responsibilities whilst keeping their studies at the core of their life at school. They will make a wonderful Lower Sixth over the coming twelve months."
