Students and staff at Uxbridge High School are delighted with this year’s sixth form results, 100% of students achieved examination success. 98% of exams entered received a grade A*- E or equivalent and 33% of the examinations were passed at the highest A*- B grades. We have also seen a year on year increase in students achieving the highest grades.

Students performed very strongly in other facilitating subjects, including geography, opening opportunities for students to take places at top Russell Group universities.
This year’s high flying students include:

In September students participated in the ‘Shakespeare in Trial’ programme. This event united Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, The National Justice Museum and Brunel University, London. The programme brought both literature and the legal system to life by subjecting fully-realised fictional characters to in-depth examination, using a play as visual and textual evidence, giving young people an opportunity to experience both the world of theatre and the drama and theatricality of the courtroom.
On Tuesday 24th September four of our students attended a workshop run by Canterbury at Twickenham Stadium. Students were given an insight by the Canterbury design team, as to how rugby jerseys are designed and produced.
