The Charter School Bermondsey is celebrating a year of academic achievement, culminating in impressive GCSE results.

Among the highlights, the school's Head Girl Greta secured a remarkable 9 grade 9s, a testament to her dedication, resilience, and natural talent.

Having joined the school in Year 7 with limited English proficiency, Greta's journey is a remarkable example of perseverance and academic growth. With the support of her teachers and classmates, she not only overcame language barriers but also excelled in subjects like History, earning a grade 9 and the prestigious Worshipful Company of Curriers’ History Essay Prize awarded by the Lord Mayor.

Greta's achievement is just one of many success stories at Charter Bermondsey. Head Boy Mahboud earned 8 grade 9s, while Godsfavour and Eden each achieved 5 grade 9s. Several students will progress to apprenticeships this year, including Alex and Freddie who earned a suite of GCSE passes and look forward to starting their apprenticeships in plumbing at Lewisham College.

Principal Marcus Huntley expressed his pride in the students' accomplishments: "I'm incredibly proud of our pupils' achievements. Despite the challenges of a busy year, they have maintained and even surpassed last year's excellent results. Their dedication and hard work are truly inspiring and mean they can progress to some of the most competitive 6th from centres in London."

Chair of Governors Sally Wood said: “Charter Bermondsey is proud to have fostered a supportive and nurturing environment that has enabled its students to reach such heights. Greta's success story is a shining example of what can be achieved with determination, resilience, and the right support.”

We wish all our Charter Bermondsey students the very best for the next stage in their educational journeys.
