A Level Results: ‘Nurturing Excellence’ in all areas of School life

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. Almost 20% of the cohort have accepted Oxbridge places.

 

The academic successes of the four captains of sport within Habs Boys were exceptional. Following very successful seasons in all four major sports at Habs, with some brilliant sporting results, the boys are now celebrating outstanding academic results and places at the best universities in the country: Michael Miller, Captain of Rugby and School Vice-Captain, achieved A*A*A and will read Natural Sciences at Cambridge; Ricky Thake, Captain of Football, was awarded A*A*A* and will read Theology at Nottingham; Naresh Rasakulasuriar, Captain of Cricket, achieved A*A*A*A* and will study Engineering at Cambridge; and Dillon Kurani, Captain of Hockey, was awarded A*A*A*A and will go on to study Economics at LSE.

 

Dillon Kurani 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, especially my brother Amit. I will look forward to studying Economics at LSE.”

Jonathan Stelzer, Vice-Captain, was awarded A*A*A and will read Theology at Cambridge. Jonathan said: “I am very pleased with my grades – it’s down to the expert help from those at Habs. My parents have also played a big part in these results and I am thankful to them for giving me the best possible opportunity.”

Animesh Misra, Senior Prefect, achieved A*A*A and will study Geophysics at Imperial College and Joshua Baumring-Gledhill, Senior Prefect was awarded A*A*A and will read History at Warwick.

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.”

 

Congratulations to all of our boys!
