Students at Harrow, Richmond, and Uxbridge Colleges (HRUC) are celebrating another exceptional year, with strong results across A-Level, BTEC, T-Level and University of the Arts London (UAL) qualifications — alongside incredible individual success stories. With many students now progressing to higher education, a high number heading to their first-choice university, onto apprenticeships, and into employment.

Dylan McTaggart, Deputy CEO, HRUC and Group Principal said “As a fast-growing and ambitious college group, we’re proud to achieve these high results, further improving year on year. These outstanding results are a testament to our students’ determination and the dedication of our incredible staff, who go above and beyond to help every learner reach their potential. Our students are now progressing to top universities, competitive apprenticeships in fields from engineering to business, and straight into employment — proof that HRUC offers both academic excellence and a wealth of pathways to future success and careers.”

Gavin Hughes, Principal of Richmond upon Thames College said:

“This year it has been another incredibly successful set of results for RuTC’s A-Level and Level 3 qualifications. 
I am delighted that our strong A-Level results included 105 students awarded A*, A and B grades with 64% of our cohort achieving A*-C grades.

Vocational Level 3 qualification results were also strong, with 107 students studying BTEC qualifications achieving Distinction grades, a 100% pass rate in our T-Level course and a 97% pass rate for our creative courses studied through UAL.

These results are testament to our students’ determination and how hard they have worked to achieve their potential, supported by our hugely committed academic and pastoral care staff who have guided them throughout their journey and prepared them for their next steps.

I am so proud that we have equipped our students with the skills and knowledge they need for a successful future, with many heading off to university at top institutions, taking higher education courses through our offer at HRUC, moving into employment or going onto an apprenticeship.”
