Students from the City of London Academy Shoreditch Park have been celebrating their first set of A-Level results today.

Pupils achieved a pass rate of 93% of grades at A*-C

City of London Academy Shoreditch Park celebrated the official opening of a new permanent school building in November 2021. The site on Hyde Road features a sixth form centre, state-of-the-art science laboratories, music and theatre facilities, and a sports pitch on its roof.

The City of London Academy Shoreditch Park is a member of the City of London Academies Trust, which runs the City of London Corporation’s sponsored academies.

The City Corporation sponsors ten high-performing academies across Hackney, Islington, Newham, and Southwark through the Trust. It is also the local education authority for one maintained primary school in the City of London, and the proprietor of four independent schools. Five out of the 10 City of London Academies Trust schools hold an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating, and three are rated ‘good’ with ‘outstanding’ features.

City of London Academy Shoreditch Park headteacher, Holly Arles, said:

“Today is a hugely significant day for everyone in our Shoreditch Park community and we are delighted with these results.

“Our students deserve the success that we are celebrating today, and we wish them the very best for the future.

“Today’s results would not be possible without our staff, parents, Governors, and our sponsor, the City of London Corporation, for their unwavering support for the students and the academy as a whole.”

Chair of the City of London Academies Trust Board, Catherine McGuinness, said:

“Our students should be delighted with their very first set of A-Level results today.

“Congratulations to everyone at the Sixth Form centre. The City of London Academies Trust Board send our warmest wishes and our immense thanks to the dedicated teaching staff.”
