GCSE Results 2023

We are proud of each and every one of our students; for the effort they have put into their learning, and for all of their achievements whilst they have been with us in school. As a group they have accomplished our best ever English and Maths at grades 9 – 5. This is even more impressive given that they are the first cohort of students to sit GCSEs with no adjustments since COVID disruption to learning in 2020 and 2021. We know they have shown incredible resilience during their education.

Overall 30% of the GCSE grades attained were at grades 9 – 7. Below are some students with a particularly impressive set of academic results:

Luca Dodd – 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 8

A Level/KS5 Results 

We are exceptionally proud of the achievements of this year’s Y13 students who have performed exceptionally well.

Students completing sixth form in 2023 were in Year 10, at the start of their GCSEs, when schools closed for national lockdown in March 2020. They returned to disrupted schooling in September 2020, before going to online learning in January 2021. In March 2021, they were told exams would be cancelled for a second year. They joined LaSWAP on the back of teacher assessments. The exams they sat this summer were their first ever public exams.

Nicholas John, Headteacher, said:

We are delighted with the results achieved by our students. They faced disruption during some of the most crucial periods of their schooling, and yet have managed to do impressively well.

We are particularly delighted with the destinations achieved. In a year when nationally results went down, our standards held up consistently well across a wide variety of courses.

Cllr Sabrina Francis, Camden Council’s Cabinet Member for Young People and Culture who is also a former Mayor of Camden, met with LaSWAP students when they received their results this morning.
