Camden’s Year 13 students were celebrating on Thursday (14 August) as they picked up their A-level and vocational results.

With grades slightly above the national average and scores improving from last year, it’s been a great year for local schools.

Celebrations took place across Camden yesterday, as students gathered to receive their results. 

Among the individual success stories at Parliament Hill School and LaSWAP Sixth Form was Maisy Zagar, 18, who is off to Oxford University to study politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) after gaining two A*s and an A in her A-levels.

Maisy said: “I would like to work for a policy think tank to put some pressure on the slow coaches.”

Fellow Parliament Hill School and LaSWAP student Kerrie Abrey, 18, who got three Cs in her A-levels, plans to train as a paramedic by studying for a degree in paramedic science at St George’s University of London. She was inspired by meeting a paramedic through a mentoring programme. 

William Ellis School and LaSWAP student Alec Imamovic, 17, who is a talented pianist, has a place at the world-famous Royal College of Music in London to study composition after receiving an A* in his music A-level and As in maths and music technology. Alec joined William Ellis through the school’s specialist music places scheme.
