Congratulations to Westminster City School’s Sixth Form, class of 2024, on their exceptional and richly deserved A-level results. The outcomes for this year group continue the recent trend of significant improvement with the proportion of students securing top grades (A* to B) rising by 6% to 58%. 83% of all grades were A* to C (up 8%) providing a strong foundation as students go on to higher education and the world of work.

A record number of students will start degree courses at universities including UCL and Oxford. Over half of students have secured places at Russell Group or top 25 ranked UK Universities, and they will complete their studies in subjects ranging from Mechanical Engineering to PPE, and from Design to Psychology. The number of students going on to study either Law or Medicine has increased, showcasing the impact of the school’s Pathways Programmes. Other students hold places on competitive and prestigious degree apprenticeships. Without doubt, these destinations place Westminster City School as one of the most successful 6th Forms in London and this year’s outcomes are a key step in achieving our goal of being the 6th Form of choice in the heart of London.

“I am proud of the grades I have received despite many rejections because this has helped me to see that there are no limitations in what can be achieved when you work hard for what you desire.

“My success thus far would not have been possible without the support of the wonderful Sixth Form team at Westminster City School and the resources provided to help me to make the best use of my time at the school. I am filled with gratitude for the experience I had at Westminster City School; I can start my next journey with my head held high.”

Muhammad, who achieved A*AA has been offered a place at University College London to study Mechanical Engineering.

Muhammad commented saying:

“I am incredibly happy with the grades I have achieved and cannot wait to start my new life at university. My seven-year journey at Westminster City School has been filled with amazing support from my teachers who also helped me throughout the process of applying for the Polar Capital Aspire Scheme. Their hard work and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I will never forget their kindness and support alongside the abundance of opportunities I received.”

Marcus, who achieved A*A*AA was elated with his A-level results. He said:

“One of the best things about Westminster City School is the teachers who work tirelessly inside and outside of the classroom to ensure the success of the students they teach. There were moments during the past two years where I felt overwhelmed and lacked motivation, but my teachers ensured that I regained my focus and they kept me motivated to the very end.

“My grades and personal experience at this school throughout the seven years proves that when students are placed in the best environment for learning, they are given the opportunity to grow and flourish into the best version of themselves.”

Elliotte, who received two A’s and an A* was overjoyed with her results. She said:

“My two years at Westminster City School’s Sixth Form were remarkable and memorable. My grades reflect the teacher’s specialism, their ability to teach to a high standard and my determination to do my best in all my A-level subjects.

“The close-knit community at the school is something I will miss and remember because I am happy that I made the decision to travel into Central London from North London each day. This certainly allowed me to come out of my comfort zone and grow into the person I am today.”

Commenting on this year’s A-level results success, Headteacher, Mr Peter Broughton, said:
