Twins at St Saviour’s & St Olave’s Sixth Form achieved a stunning haul of 5A*s and 1A as the school smashed its 2019 results.
Arianna Castro-Thomas and twin sister Ayesha Castro-Thomas got a A*A*A* and A*A*A respectively.
Arianna will study physics at University of Bristol while Ayesha is off to University of Durham to read Natural Sciences.
Headteacher of the Elephant and Castle school Catherine May said: “I am delighted with these results, and the grades will enable our students to progress to the courses of their choice, but this year’s success needs to be measured in other ways too.
“These students have managed all the challenges of lockdown learning and navigated all the hurdles with determination and courage. I am proud of every student for showing such resilience. I wish them every success for the future, and I am confident they will continue to flourish.”
Fawzia Khan will study Psychology at King’s College London having achieved A*A*A and Sakinah Belhaj-Fahsi’s AAA results got her onto the Religion, Philosophy and Ethics course at King’s College London.
Chynga Carnegie got AAA and will study Criminology at University of Manchester while Belle Brickell got A*AB so will study Social Anthropology at London School of Economics.
25 per cent of grades given were A* to A, 49 per cent were A* to B and 80 per cent were A* to C.
The school has singled out the Product Design and History departments for praise in which every single student achieved at least a B.
Head of Sixth Form, Hannah Kennedy said: “Our Year 13 students have really demonstrated a desire and a passion for learning in their time at St Saviour’s and this is certainly evidenced by this brilliant set of results. It has been a privilege to work with them and I feel excited to hear about the positive impact they will go on to have on society.”
