Diverse talents shine as Heathfield celebrates A-level success

Heathfield School in Ascot – rated ‘Excellent’ across all areas by the Independent Schools Inspectorate – is celebrating this year’s exceptional A level achievements spanning 17 diverse subjects, from Mathematics, Economics and STEM, to Art, Classical Civilisation, PE and Languages.

Excellent results mean students have secured their preferred places at Bristol, Durham, Birmingham, King’s College, London, Royal Holloway, Surrey and Lancaster in the UK, and international universities in Greece and Monaco and at Vermont University in the US. Their chosen subjects include Medicine, Law and Economics, Music, Biomedical Sciences, Psychology, Anthropology, Sport and Exercise Science, Computer Science and Politics.

Some of the standout students who excelled this year, include last year’s Head Girl, Doddie, who not only demonstrated her outstanding leadership qualities, but was also thoroughly involved in sport, drama and music. Doddie is heading to the Aristotle University of Thessalonica to study Medicine, having come top in the Greek National Medical exam, competing against 330 other candidates.

Previous Deputy Head Girl, Sonya, is continuing to follow her passion and study Music at King’s College, London, and Ciara with two A*s and an A is looking forward to beginning her Law degree at Bristol.

Commenting on this year’s results, Headmistress, Sarah Rollings, said, ‘I’m extremely proud of every girl’s individual achievement; it is a true reflection of all their hard work, and the dedication of their teachers, boarding and wider staff supporting them within our school community. Heathfield is a small school that provides big opportunities. We encourage and support each of our students to pursue and develop their own unique interests and abilities. All our leavers are excellently equipped to go forward and embrace the next steps in their lives, following their individual passions.’
