A-Level Exam Results 2024
HARRIS ACADEMY OCKENDON CELEBRATES A LEVEL SUCCESS
Students at Harris Academy Ockendon are celebrating today after being awarded an excellent set of Sixth Form results. Following the Academy’s ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted judgement earlier in the year, the staff are thrilled with the continued academic success of their students and incredibly proud of the resilience and tenacity demonstrated by all receiving their results today, many of whom are going on to study at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities.
A level results were strong for the fifth year in a row with over 65% of all grades awarded to students at a C grade or higher and a 96% pass rate overall- an excellent result. These results place Harris Academy Ockendon comfortably in line with the national average. Students performed particularly well in A Levels such as Financial Studies and Media Studies, where the average grade achieved was a B+, and Art & Design, History and Geography where over a third of all grades were awarded A*/A.
Our Vocational students in BTEC Sport, Health and Social Care, and Enterprise and Entrepreneurship also performed to an exceptionally high standard, achieving an average grade of Distinction, indicating students on average were awarded a third of a grade above their target, a stunning result and above the national average once again.

Jo Rainey, the Academy’s Principal, said:
“I am immensely proud of our students and their extraordinary achievements.
