Local Summer A-level and BTEC Results

It looks likely final confirmed data will show a continued improvement in secondary outcomes in the borough. Locally, Sydenham School and Forest Hill School’s joint 6th form (SFH6) students achieved 35% A or A* grades at A Level and 65% at a grade B or better. Students also performed well on BTEC courses with 92% graded at a Merit, Distinction or Distinction*. Well done to all the students and teachers involved.
