Harris Science Academy East London Celebrates GCSE Success
Year 11 students at Harris Science Academy East London are today celebrating a strong set of GCSE results which are the first since the Academy joined the Harris Federation.
Over a quarter of all grades were at least grade 7 with almost 60% of all GCSEs achieving a grade 5 or above. 77% of students secured a 4+ in both English and maths.
Five students – Nikesh Birundan, Ammar Muhamed Asick, Lubabah Pervaj, Mohammed Rehaan and Jositha Vogireddy - achieved 8s and 9s in every subject.
Congratulations are also due to Covenant Ezeh for securing two grade 7s, four grade 6s and one grade 5 after joining the Academy in Year 11 and working phenomenally hard to ensure he was prepared for the exams.
We were delighted to have been chosen to appear on BBC News to celebrate our students’ success.
Dan MacPherson, Principal of Harris Science Academy East London, said:
“These results are testament to the huge amount of work that has gone into improving the Academy since 2022. I would like to thank the Harris Federation for their support as well as our Vice Principal, Kirsten Boyle, who has been exceptional in leading the Academy’s strategy for Year 11. None of this would have been possible without the support of our parent body during this year of significant change. We wish the Class of 2023 every success in the future.”
Executive Principal Lisa Kattenhorn said:
“With a clear vision and an absolute commitment from all involved, we have enabled the students to achieve their potential, enabling them to be successful in the future.”
