Kateryna Law, headteacher at Camden School for Girls, said the students had shown “remarkable resilience, determination and commitment” despite having their transition from primary to secondary school disrupted by lockdowns.
Their GCSE results reflect that perseverance, with 19 per cent achieving a grade 9 (compared to the national average of 5 per cent), 50 per cent earning grades 9 to 7 (national average 22 per cent), and 92 per cent achieving grades 9 to 4 (national average 67 per cent).
Ms Law said: “I am delighted to share another strong set of GCSE results this year at Camden School for Girls.
“This cohort of students faced unique challenges.
“Their transition from primary to secondary school coincided with the pandemic: lockdowns arrived in Year 6, and their first year with us in Year 7 was marked by further closures and significant disruption.
“Despite these obstacles, our students have risen brilliantly to the challenge, showing remarkable resilience, determination, and commitment.”
A total of 34 students achieved at least eight GCSEs at grades 9 to 7.
Ms Law also praised the school’s staff and families for their support.
She said: “These results are also a testament to the dedication and expertise of our staff.”
