Sacred Heart High School Hammersmith (SHHS) is one of the top 1% of all non-selective secondary maintained schools in England. Rated ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Exceptional’ by Ofsted. The latter rating awarded to just a handful of schools in the country.  

We are incredibly proud of our Year 13 students and their A-Level achievements this year.  Our headline results are shown below but they remain provisional while the school awaits the results of appeals.

• A quarter of all results were at grades A* and A, with well over half of all results at A*-B.  Nearly 90% of all results were at grade A*- C or better.
• In four subjects – Art, Drama, French and Spanish – every student achieved a grade B or better.
• In Chemistry, 88% achieved A*-B.  
• In Applied Science BTEC and Business BTEC no student attained a grade below Distinction.
• Overall, 10% of students achieved all A* and A grades, with two individuals achieving 4 A* to A grades.

We are also delighted to say that our 2024 exam results place us in the top 25% of schools and colleges for value-added progress as rated by ALPs.

Exam results, are not and should not be the whole story. Our mission, and that of the Society of the Sacred Heart, is to provide a well-rounded and transformational educational experience for every girl, no matter her ability. This commitment to the education of each and every student in our care is the reason our pupils are progressing so well.

Our school is unique. We teach and care for the girls in equal measure. We are not, and refuse to be, an exam factory. We provide excellent education and pastoral support, a combination that ensures our students leave school with a sense of their own giftedness and achievement, equipped to face the future.
