From the Headteacher

Dear Parents and Carers,

It has been wonderful to welcome back our students for what we hope will be yet another successful year here at Greenford. I do hope that everyone has had a pleasant and restful summer break and is feeling re-charged and ready for the year ahead.

We have much to celebrate with another set of impressive results at A Level and GCSE which you can see some more details about below.  

We look forward to seeing many of you at our Expectations Evenings and in the meantime, if you need any support, please do get in touch with our pastoral teams - contact details are all at the end of this newsletter.

Best Wishes,

Mrs M Pye

Headteacher

A level Results Day:

Congratulations to out A level students. Some notable achievements are three students securing places at Oxbridge: Lauren-Ava Carey and Tejuspreet Ubhi will be studying at Oxford University and Meiiya Ooi will be studying at Cambridge University.

Greenford High School in the news:

‘At Greenford High School just under 30% of entries were graded at 9-7 with over 50 students achieving grades 9-7 across seven or more of their subjects.

In both English and Maths, the school achieved 31% and 35% grades 9-7, respectively and there were particularly strong results in Biology, Chemistry and Physics where the top grades of 9-7 were achieved by almost half of all the students who studied for those subjects. Outstanding results were achieved in Further Maths, where 76% of all the results were awarded at grades 9-7. Almost 80% of students achieved key passes in both English and Maths, enabling students to move onto Post 16 courses of their choices.

The school’s top performer is Vishani Rajasegaram who achieved grade 9s in all her 10 subjects. The following students achieved grades 9-7 across all 10 of their subjects: Kiran Bhachu; Yaameen Githroo; Gagannit Kaur; Kareem Marey; Rakshiha Mohan; Simona Sharma; Tanvi Sharma and Mudaser Yousufy.

Headteacher Mia Pye said, “I am incredibly proud of all of our students who have achieved so fantastically well this year. We look forward to welcoming the majority of our students who will be returning to our Post 16 Centre in September, and we wish all the best to those who are moving on elsewhere.”’
