Sixth form students this summer celebrated superb A level results that, stated Headmaster Tim Manly, “look like matching or exceeding the best in the history of the school.”
“Two things make this particularly pleasing for me, personally. First, they joined the College at the same time as I did. We have been together through a great deal over the last five years. Second, they are the largest number of pupils which the school has had sitting A2 exams and for them to have achieved so well is an excellent reflection on not just their academic talent, but also their qualities and personalities. They have been a lovely group of pupils. Not only have they achieved great things academically, but they have really enriched the life of the College, and each other, through their other activities and their sense of community.
“I’m also pleased to report that In spite of the media hype about university entry, the vast majority of Hurst students secured places at their chosen University, with candidates going to leading Russell Group Universities, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol and Imperial, as well as to other highly regarded universities such as Durham and Exeter.
“Looking ahead, the school is confident that it will build on, and exceed, these results in the future.”
