On Thursday 14 August, Sixth Form students at Mary Hare School proudly celebrated the culmination of their studies as they received results for A-Levels, BTECs, and Technical Qualifications. The school, renowned for its specialist provision for deaf young people, is delighted to announce a 100% pass rate for A-Level grades A* to E, alongside an impressive Pass to Distinction rate in Level 3 Diplomas and BTECs.
Students undertaking vocational qualifications at Entry Level and Levels 1 and 2 also excelled, achieving a 100% pass rate across a wide range of subjects. These included Plumbing Studies, Carpentry, Hospitality, Bicycle Maintenance, Beauty Therapy, Animal Care, Childcare, Catering, and Land-based Studies, demonstrating the breadth of talent and ambition among the cohort.
Many students have secured places at university to pursue degrees in subjects such as Classical Studies, English, Mathematics and Physics, Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Science, and Photography. Others are preparing to begin college courses, apprenticeships, or employment, while some will take a gap year to explore new opportunities.
One such success story is West Berkshire pupil, Sam Polack. Sam shared his pleasure with his results saying "I am really happy with my sixth form results, especially my Distinction* in Sports Coaching. I want to thank the Mary Hare PE team for helping me achieve this result. These results have helped set me up for a great apprenticeship at SSE starting in September."

Eleanor Davis from Hampshire secured two B grades in Fine Art and Textiles. Her mother expressed "We are over the moon with Eleanor’s results and are thankful for the support, encouragement and opportunity that the school gave her. We are so excited to see what she does next thanks to the grounding Mary Hare has given her."
Robin Askew, Principal of Mary Hare School, commented:
“Our students should feel proud of their achievements, which mark important milestones in their journey towards fulfilling their ambitions. I would like to recognise the hard work and commitment of both students and staff in securing these excellent results, and I wish all our leavers every success as they move on to university, college, employment, or other exciting ventures.”
