A LEVEL & VOCATIONAL RESULTS DAY

Thursday 14th August 2025

Huge congratulations to all our Year 13 students who have shown incredible dedication and resilience, working so hard over the last two years. We are enormously proud of you all! At Sacred Heart we are ambitious for all our students and want them to have the best opportunities for their future lives. These excellent results will open doors to the careers and the futures our students aspire to. Our staff and governors congratulate all students and wish them every success in their future lives.

The results this year are exceptionally good and are testament to the commitment of our girls and the teachers who taught them.

We have an impressive number of girls with a combination of A* and A grades going off to study high tariff courses at some of the best universities in this country, including Oxford and Cambridge as well medical schools. We have also had great success with our vocational courses, with students achieving the highest Distinction* grades and going on to study nursing, midwifery and optometry.

Coupled with this, we have students starting apprenticeships with Newcastle Building Society, KPMG and Clifford Chance.

You are all exceptional, inspiring, and talented young women and we couldn’t be more pleased or proud of you!
