Congratulations to Year 13 for set of outstanding A Level results
We are proud and delighted to announce a 100% pass rate, with over 80% of grades A*-B, for this year’s A Level examinations. Today’s success is a true testament to the knowledge-rich, rigorous education and culture of scholarship at Northwood, which is underpinned by the sheer grit and determination shown by our brilliant students and teachers alike. We are unashamedly ambitious for our girls, no one flies under the radar, and we place no limits on their achievements.
40% of our girls have achieved straight A*/A grades and this successful year group can now look forward to taking their well-deserved places at outstanding institutions, such as, Oxford, UCL and King’s College London.
Mrs Brown commented: “I believe that our year-on-year academic success is because we really do know each student, we recognise her individual strengths and think deeply and strategically about how best to develop her talents, whilst motivating and challenging her each step of the way.”

They have worked tirelessly throughout their school careers, navigating the challenges of the years of the pandemic with true resilience and courage. It is important to me that our students develop inner personal strength and the drive to support and champion one another; if they harness the power of collective endeavour, supported and coached by our expert teachers, the sky really is the limit across all our year groups.”
