Success follows A-level results at Claremont

Schools across Harrow are receiving their GCSE results today, with students finding out whether they have secured the grades needed for their next steps, including sixth form, college or apprenticeships.
Ms Hyde-Boughey said: ‘These GCSE results reflect the high standards and supportive environment we cultivate here at Claremont. We couldn’t be prouder of each and every student who has risen to the challenge.’
Schools are invited to send their GCSE results, photos and student success stories to Harrow Online for possible coverage. Please email info@harrowonline.org for consideration.
