Year 13 Results Day

Barking Abbey is celebrating remarkable, record-breaking results again this morning. 

Our students achieved the school’s highest ever number of 41 A* Grades, including 11 in Mathematics. The top Grade was achieved in an unprecedented 16 A-Level Subjects. More than 150 A*/A Grades were awarded, which is over one quarter of all results; and two-thirds were graded A*-B. Vocational results were exceptional: higher than ever before at Barking Abbey, and in the Top 5% in the country for progress. Our CTEC IT Qualification scored in the Top 1% of schools nationally, a phenomenal achievement by students and staff. 

5 students achieved the incredible feat of all A* Grades; a further 11 achieved all A*/A Grades; and 17 Vocational students achieved all Distinction* in their chosen Courses. 

We could not be prouder of our students, who it must be remembered missed out on a huge chuck of Secondary School during Covid. They worked so hard, showing resilience and bravery throughout their time with us. These outstanding results will ensure they get their first-choice Universities, degree apprenticeships and full scholarships to the United States.  

An incredible 65% of students who applied for university are going to Russell Group Universities. Some notable destinations include UCL, Kings College London, Warwick, Nottingham and Imperial College.  A further 30 students are going on to complete degree apprenticeships, including Disney, TFL, KPMG, Amazon, Deloitte, UBS and London Metropolitan Police.
