The Hollyfield School in Surbiton excelled at Biology and Chemistry GCSEs with over 45% of students achieved grades 7 and above (previously grade A).

Over 80% of students were awarded grades 5 (equivalent to grade C) and above in English, Physics, Music and PE. In Maths, Art, Business Studies, Drama, Food Technology, Geography and Spanish, over 66% of students achieved a grade 5 or above.

Overall, 24% of our BTEC students achieved Distinction* or Distinction results and 50% were awarded Merit grades or higher.

Mr Buckman, Assistant Headteacher KS4 said: 'My congratulations to all of our Year 11 students on an excellent set of results. This is a culmination of their hard work and determination. They can be rightly proud of their achievements. I wish them all the very best for the future and look forward to welcoming back those who will be joining our Sixth Form in September.'

The Hollyfield School said it was delighted with excellent achievements of its students in their GCSEs and BTECs.

Luca Mitchell achieved an incredible ten grade 9s and one grade 8. He said he was proudest of his Further Maths result (a 9), which was the highest mark awarded at Hollyfield.

Katherine Keaney attained six grade 9s, three grade 8s and a grade 6. She said she was very happy with her results, which were even better than expected.

Nicholas Bowyer was awarded four grade 9s, three grade 8s, one 7 and one 6 - as well as a Distinction for BTEC Media. He was proudest of his English Literature result, having spent the longest revising for it.

Kitty Sebuliba achieved a BTEC Distinction for Media Studies and a Distinction* for Health and Social Care, while Elliot Forey achieved Distinctions in both Media and Business Studies.

Headteacher, Amy Jackson, said: 'Congratulations, Year 11. You've absolutely smashed it. We know the amount of work you've put in - not just in Year 11, but throughout the course of your studies. I'd like to take a moment to thank our staff and all the parents and carers for their support. As for our wonderful students: Enjoy the day, enjoy your celebrations and good luck with your next steps.'
