An incredible 80 per cent overall received A*-to-C grades for their exams.
The school achieved 100 per cent passes at A*-to-E grades, which looks like it could top the schools’ league table in Tower Hamlets.
“We ‘re confident that we’ve achieved the best results in the borough,” joint-Head of Sixth Form Andrew Warburton said. “This is testament to quality of teaching, learning and support at Bishop Challoner.”
The significant proportion of top-grade As and A*s bucks the national trend which is showing a decline.

The school gave me a lot of support. The Sixth Form has been helping me with every single part of the application process.”
