2019 has been another fantastic year for GCSE results at Harris Boys’ Academy East Dulwich.
Overall, two thirds of students achieved a Grade 4 or above in English and Maths with a large proportion of boys gaining at least a Grade 7 (equivalent to an A or higher) in English (22%) and Maths (23%).
Around a third of students (30%) achieved the demanding Ebacc, which is well above the most recent national average (24%).
The academy also excelled in science. There was a 100% pass rate in Triple Science and an impressive 20% of the cohort achieved the very top Grade 9 which is equivalent to an A**.
