Top 10% nationally for student progress as strong GCSE results continue

Hammersmith Academy is celebrating another strong set of GCSE results, with our students placing the Academy in the top 10% nationally for value added, rising from the top 15% last year.

This year:

⭐ 80% of all grades were awarded at 9–4
⭐ 66% at 9–5
⭐ 27% at 9–7
⭐ 65% of students achieved 9–5 in both English and Maths

What does being in the top 10% for value added mean in practice?

Our students achieved, on average, at least one grade higher across their subjects than their starting points would predict.

This is particularly significant given our fair banded admissions, with students joining Hammersmith Academy across the full range of academic ability. The Academy ranks in the top 10% nationally for value added across every prior attainment group, as well as for disadvantaged students, girls and boys.

These results reflect the academic challenge, support and ambition that underpin a Hammersmith Academy education, providing students with strong foundations for Sixth Form and their journey towards real world success.

Congratulations to our students and to the staff who have supported them throughout their GCSE journey.

🏅 Different venue. Same Hammersmith Academy spirit.

This year's Sports Day looked a little different, but one thing certainly didn't change – the enthusiasm, determination and team spirit shown by our students.

From track events and field challenges to House competitions and plenty of encouragement from the sidelines, it was a fantastic day of participation, resilience and fun.

Congratulations to Attenborough House for being crowned this year's Sports Day champions! 🏆

A huge thank you to our PE team and staff for organising another memorable day, and well done to every student who took part.

On Saturday, Hammersmith Academy families enjoyed an exclusive Family Day at Kensington Palace, delivered through our valued partnership with Historic Royal Palaces.

Families explored one of Britain's most iconic royal residences while taking part in a range of interactive activities, including a zine making workshop inspired by objects from the Royal Collection, object handling sessions, The Last Princesses of Punjab exhibition and an opportunity to meet Queen Caroline.

Experiences like these are an important part of our commitment to broadening horizons, strengthening family engagement and connecting learning with the rich cultural opportunities available beyond the classroom.

Our sincere thanks to the Historic Royal Palaces team for another outstanding event and for their continued partnership with Hammersmith Academy.

Our Year 11 students marked the end of an incredible chapter with an unforgettable Prom aboard a Thames river cruise, taking in London's iconic skyline as they celebrated together.

It was an evening filled with laughter, music and memories as students reflected on everything they have achieved and looked ahead to the exciting opportunities that await them.

Congratulations, Year 11. We are incredibly proud of you and wish you every success in your next chapter.
