News and Events

We are proud to celebrate our students’ achievements on A Level results day, particularly those in the applied general courses and our unique sports programmes, who have demonstrated impressive progress and success.

75% of students attained A*-C in their BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Applied Science and 100% A*-C in their BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate in Applied Science. These courses have seen significant numbers of students making remarkable positive value-added progress, showcasing the strength of the curriculum and the dedication of our teaching staff. In response to the growing interest and success, we are excited to announce the launch of our T Level Science offer from September, which is designed to provide students with a robust pathway into the science industry through the combination of classroom learning and practical experience.

We are also proud to highlight the exceptional accomplishments of students enrolled in our Sports Coaching course, delivered in partnership with Queens Park Rangers (QPR). This programme, which serves a vulnerable cohort, has achieved its best-ever set of results this year.

Another area of significant accomplishment is within our Future Stars BTEC Sports course, where we celebrate the incredible triumph of one of our students, Henry who has earned the highest possible grade of D*D*D*. Henry has secured a place at the renowned UCL (University College London) to study Psychology with Education.

Emma Chambers at Future Stars, commented:

“The high performing sports programmes at Northolt High School, particularly in Volleyball and Basketball, continue to nurture and develop talent, and we are proud to see our students excelling on both a personal and professional level.”

Headteacher Marion Budd commented:

“Our students’ hard work and determination have truly paid off, and it is wonderful to see so many of them achieving the grades they need to take the next steps in their educational journeys. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them.”

These results have opened doors for students to pursue a variety of exciting paths. Many have secured places at universities, including UCL, Nottingham, Southampton, Portsmouth and City of London, while others have chosen to embark on apprenticeship programmes or enter the workforce, armed with the skills and knowledge gained during their time at Northolt High School and Sixth Form.

“As we celebrate these achievements, we also recognise the importance of looking forward,” added Marion Budd.

“At Northolt High School, we are dedicated to continuously improving and evolving to meet the needs of our students and local community. With exciting developments on the horizon, including the construction of a new state-of-the-art building and a rebranding initiative, the future at our school is brighter than ever. We are confident that these developments will enrich our school community and inspire even greater achievements in the years to come.”
