Chigwell pupils excel with outstanding A Level results

It has been another fantastic year for A Level pupils at Chigwell School who have achieved an outstanding set of results.

We are delighted that an incredible 23% of grades achieved were A*, 57% were A*- A and an impressive 85% were A*- B.

Individually, 4% of our pupils received at least 3 A* grades, 10% received at least 4 A grades and a third at least 3 A grades and above.

Some pupils chose to undertake an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in addition to their A Level subjects, with 86% of them achieving an incredible A*/A.

A special mention goes to our Deputy Head pupil, Lucas Goddard, who achieved one of the best marks in the UK in OCR English Literature and will take up his place at Oxford University to study English and History in the coming weeks.

We are thrilled that due to the hard work of the pupils, the support of their teachers, parents and Chigwell community, our pupils are now successfully moving onto their next adventure. Some 80% of pupils got into their first choice university, of which the vast majority are heading to Russell Group, with the most popular being UCL, King’s, Durham and Warwick. Other universities included Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial and many others, and even specialist places like the Royal College of Music. Some pupils have also accepted offers to study overseas, including in New York and Rome. Another pupil is preparing to embark on a degree apprenticeship with Jaguar Land Rover.

Our Head, Mr King, said: “Our Year 13s have worked extremely hard over the past two years and it’s wonderful to see that hard work pay off. We are very proud of their achievements and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Head of Sixth Form, Mr Coppell, highlighted: “This year’s Middle Sixth have been a delight to work with and their impressive results are no surprise to those who have had the pleasure to work with them.”

Our Sixth Formers have contributed immensely to Chigwell School during their time here, and this year, have set an excellent example to their younger peers – both academically and in the core Chigwell values that they so ardently display. We are excited to see what the future entails for them, we wish them the best of luck and hope to see them back to Chigwell School in the coming years.
