\"Result\"<\/a>Following two years of hard work, students across Tower Hamlets today (August 13) celebrated as they opened their A Level results.
\nResults at Mulberry were extremely strong \u2013 with Head Teacher Vanessa Ogden indicating that 75 per cent of students achieved A* to C grades. 80 students from the school hold offers for Oxbridge or Russell Group universities.
\nCllr Sirajul Islam, Deputy Mayor of Tower Hamlets, joined students at the school, and celebrated with them.
\nSpeaking at the school, Cllr Islam said: \u201cI want to extend a big well done to students who have achieved so much \u2013 and encourage them to say \u2018thank you\u2019 to their teachers. The achievements of students across the borough are testament to our teachers, as well as the support and dedication of parents. Teachers are so passionate and dedicated to inspiring young people to achieve their dreams.\u201d
\nKawsara Chowdhury, 18, achieved an A* in Maths, an A* in Physics, and an A in Further Maths. She is going on to read Maths at Kings College. She said: \u201cI feel really relieved \u2013 because I felt like my exams didn\u2019t go so well. But obviously my grades say otherwise! The school has been so, so supportive \u2013 especially my maths teachers. I\u2019m going to really miss this place as I\u2019ve been here for seven years.\u201d
\nThasneem Zaman, 18, achieved one A* and two Bs. She is going on to study Geography at University College London. She said: \u201cI\u2019m so happy. I want to thank the school. All my teachers were so, so supportive. Teachers would respond almost 24\/7 \u2013 in fact, one actually emailed me back when he was on holiday. I couldn\u2019t have achieved these grades without the support of the school.\u201d
\nDr Vanessa Ogden, Head Teacher of Mulberry School for Girls, said: \u201cWe are delighted that our girls have done so well. Many of the girls who have excelled are students who entered Mulberry in Year 7 with achievement profiles that would be described as average. With outstanding teaching, excellent pastoral care in school and the creation of self-belief as well as an environment that promotes the success of women in particular, you can aim high and achieve those ambitions regardless of your starting point. Every girl who has done well has worked for her success and she thoroughly deserves her place at university.\u201d
\nMulberry School for Girls was put on a national platform in June this year, when the First Lady, Michelle Obama visited. At the school, she launched the \u2018Let Girls Learn\u2019 initiative to improve opportunities for girls worldwide to complete their education.
\nWhilst at the school, Mrs. Obama said: \u201cI am here because of you, girls like you who inspire me. I am so proud of your passion and diligence. You are great, working so hard to complete your education. In so many ways your story is also my story.\u201d
\nMayor of Tower Hamlets, John Biggs, said: \u201cI\u2019m so impressed with our diligent pupils. Today is the start of the rest of their lives. Whether they go on to start working, carrying on their education at university, starting an apprenticeship, or whatever they go on to do, their A Level results will be a firm basis for a bright future.<\/p>\n
