In 2024, 515 A Level examinations were taken by 164 students. 55% of all grades awarded were either A* or A, and 20% of all grades were A*, the very highest available.
85% of grades were A*, A and B, demonstrating the excellent academic and creative skillsets of our students. 9 of our students were awarded three or more A* grades.
This year, 20 students submitted the very demanding Extended Project, and we are delighted that 15 of them achieved A or A* grades in this qualification.

Nearly all of our students are now studying at their first choice university. The range of courses are breathtaking from Film Production to Physics, Marketing to Medicine, and Linguistics to Law. Students have secured places at traditional institutions including UCL, Durham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, Leeds and St Andrews.
Our students are also studying at a range of creative and media courses at an array of institutions including University of the Arts London, Royal Welsh Conservatoire, Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, London Film Academy, the Courtauld Institute of Art, and Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts.
Hurtwood students are unafraid to venture overseas, and we are delighted that many are on their way to study abroad at institutions including New York Film Academy, IE University Madrid, Savannah College of Art & Design, University of Maastricht, University of California and John Cabot University of Rome.
