Oliver Teasel, Head of School, said, “Once again Harington School is celebrating another fantastic set of results. I am so proud of all our students and their achievements. Over the last two years they have been a pleasure to work with, conducting themselves in a mature and professional manner. We are so lucky to have such great students, dedicated staff and supportive parents. It is therefore no surprise that the results are so strong. Students are leaving Harington to pursue a diverse range of courses at some of the top universities and employers in the country. I am just delighted that Harington School has played a part in unlocking these next steps for them”.

Scarlett, who is studying Veterinary Science at The University of Liverpool said “I am thankful for the helpful support provided by teachers and the friendships that I have made at Harington. The Doc Soc. (extra- curricular medics, vets and dentist support) has provided me with the opportunity to learn more about medical science and support my application to study veterinary science.”

This year six students opted to complete degree level apprenticeships in a diverse range of areas. These include accountancy, the police and business management.

Libby said “The level of support provided staff has been fantastic to help me achieve my full potential. The whole school community has been a supportive environment.”
