Headteacher 'immensely proud' of school's first batch of of A Level students
At West London Free School, its sixth form pioneers were sitting the school's first ever round of A Level exams.
The results were impressive, with 29% of grades either A* or A and 45% at A* to B.
Two of the school's highest achievers were Martin Limback-Stokin and Mimi Reyburn, pictured above.
Martin, 19, got A*s in maths, chemistry, and biology and is now going to Cambridge to study medicine. "That’s what I was aiming for," he said. "I’d have been disappointed with anything less.
"I was confident right up until the day before so it was such a relief. It means I can go to the uni I want, to study the course I want."
Mimi, 18 was also much relieved to find she had achieved an A* grade in maths plus As in further maths and physics. "I feel really good, " she said." I got what I needed to go to Imperial College London."
Mimi is going to study design engineering at the university, inspired by an AS course she took in art the previous year.
“It made me want to study art as well as science. This way I can combine the subjects,” she said.
"These students have been the pioneers and they’ve all been fantastic," said headteacher Clare Wagner.
"I’m immensely proud of the students and the staff. The students have been a fantastic bunch, really supportive of each other."
