The Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School’s philosophy to nurture excellence in all areas of School life is clearly evident in the Class of 2018’s outstanding A Level results.
Alongside uncompromisingly high academic standards, it is the all-round, holistic education which enables every pupil to thrive, to develop aspirations and to pursue his ambitions with confidence and energy.
Academic excellence very readily sits alongside success in Sport, Drama, Music, Art and Community Service. The School is therefore delighted to see that the Class of 2018, once again, has succeeded in all areas of educational life.
Habs Boys continues to see outstanding A Level results right across the year group and subject areas. 42% of all grades awarded were A*; 38 pupils (25%) gained 3 or more A* grades; 85 pupils (56%) gained straight A* and A grades.
Particular strengths this year are to be found in Modern Foreign Languages, English Literature, all three Sciences and Further Mathematics.
Dillon Kurani, who captains the School’s hockey team, achieved A*A*A*A. His chosen A Levels were Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Economics. Dillon, who will go on to study Economics at London School of Economics, said: “I am really happy with my results and am very excited for the future. The support from Habs was incredible. I must take this opportunity to thank my family for pushing me, especially my brother Amit who also went to Habs four years ago. I am really looking forward to starting at LSE.”
Animesh Misra, Senior Prefect, achieved A*AA in Maths, Physics and Geography. Animesh, who will study Geophysics at Imperial College London, said: “I am really, really happy with my results. My brother, who also studied at Habs, helped me a lot throughout my Sixth Form years. It’s with his support, and the support of the teachers and Head of Sixth Form at Habs, that I have achieved these results.”
Peter Hamilton, Headmaster, commented: “Congratulations to the boys for their outstanding achievements. These results are a wonderful way to end my time at the School. It has been a real privilege to know the Class of 2018 as they have grown into fine young men over the last decade. Their superb results are the mark of hard work, dedication and excellent teaching.
“We are immensely proud of our students who leave us exceptionally well prepared to pursue their dreams and aspirations beyond Haberdashers’ knowing that they have had the surest of foundations. I wish all of our pupils, and their parents, a wonderful future.”
