Thursday 21 August marked a significant milestone for students across Camden, as they received their GCSE results after years of dedication and hard work.
Provisional results show that 72.3% of Camden schools’ GCSE exam entries in 2025 were awarded grade 4 or above, higher than this year’s national average of 67.1%.
At Haverstock School, Liam, 16 (pictured above, second from right), was celebrating achieving three top grade 9s in his Italian, Spanish and English Literature GCSEs, along with 8s in history, English language, biology and maths, 7s in computer science and physics, as well as a further two strong passes at grades 5 and 6.
Liam, who is staying on at Haverstock Sixth Form, said: “I’m pleased - it went well. I’m very happy with the 9 in English literature and 8 in biology, which I didn’t expect. I’m going to study English literature, maths and psychology A-levels at the sixth form here.”
Cadense, 16, from Hampstead School achieved three 9s, three 8s, two 7s, and one 5 in their GCSEs. They were especially pleased with a 9 in history and are considering going to LaSWAP Sixth Form to study politics, history and economics at A-level.
Matthew Sadler, Headteacher of Hampstead School, said: “I am so proud of all of our Year 11 students - because of COVID they left primary school after a lockdown and started their time in secondary school confined to ‘bubbles’. Despite the most difficult circumstances in generations, they have thrived - now achieving wonderful academic progress."
