Five Kingsdale students are headed for Oxford or Cambridge – part of a cohort that saw around 100 students secure at least one A* or A grade.
Many pupils at the West Dulwich academy have secured places at prestigious Russell Group universities, while others are bound for highly-esteemed creative arts institutions.
Approximately one-third of all grades achieved at A level this year were A* or A, with over 60 per cent A* to B.
Roza Hannick, who got A*A*A*A in French, Latin, Maths and English, will study Classics and French at Oxford University after getting her results on Thursday, August 17.
She said: “I can’t wait to start my degree, and I couldn’t have made it there without the hours of work teachers put into personal statement workshops, interview and test preparation, and keeping us on track for the UCAS deadlines.
“And of course it goes without saying that the subject teachers go above and beyond with A Level support!”
Sophie Cleaves got straight A*s in History, Maths and Politics. Gearing up for a History and Politics degree at Cambridge University, she said: “I’m just so excited to get started with my degree and so thankful for all the support I’ve received in getting me there!”
Students have secured places at a range of universities including Bristol, Edinburgh, the London School of Economics, Manchester and St Andrew’s.
Angelie Nadarajah got A*A*A in Biology, Psychology and Chemistry, cementing her place to study Medicine at Manchester University.
“It is the UK’s largest medical school and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work there,” she said. “I’m especially excited to be part of such a vibrant city, and look forward to all the fun times ahead of me!”
Louis Welvaert got A*AA in History, Philosophy and Politics. Undecided on his next move, he said: “I really enjoyed my time at Kingsdale. I spent seven years in total and Sixth Form was absolutely the pinnacle. The teachers and staff are just fantastic.”
Deputy Head Girl Kuziva Mazhude, who got AAAC in Music, Spanish, French and Biology, said: “In my gap year, I will be working in the Languages and Music departments at Kingsdale and I’m so excited to be able to give back to the school that truly changed my life.”
