Achieving their goals

Tears of joy were the order of the day as Farnborough Hill girls opened their A level results. The hard working students were delighted to have achieved their goals and are looking forward to university life. The results were outstanding: 84% of the grades achieved were A or B grades with 93% of all grades at C or above. Bucking the trend for girls, nearly three quarters of the year group took Maths and/or Sciences and these results were particularly strong with nearly 90% of grades at A or B.

Among the top achievers were 10 girls with straight A grades, including (pictured with Head of Science, Sue Macey, l to r): Jenny Orchard (Economics at Warwick University), Laura Amatt (History at Royal Holloway), Caroline Haines (Music (Composition) at The Royal Northern College of Music), Sue Macey, Joanna Belcher (Medicine at University College London), Sarah Wonham (Archaeology & Ancient History at St John’s College, Oxford), Hannah Dennis (Veterinary Science at The Royal Veterinary College) and Marina Daoud (Dentistry at King’s College, London). Also going to Cambridge this year are Vinaya Srirangam Nadhamuni, (Medicine at Girton College) and Rebecca Overton (Latin and Greek at Selwyn College).

Headmistress, Mrs Sarah Buckle said “We are delighted with this set of outstanding results. The girls have not only worked very hard but they have been a credit to the school in so many other ways too, not least raising large sums of money for charity during their Upper Sixth RAG week. Credit must also go to the dedicated and talented teaching staff at Farnborough Hill who always go the extra mile to inspire and support their students”.
