These results reflect not only your dedication but also the unwavering support from teachers, school staff, and families across the borough. Camden continues to be a place where young people thrive, and today’s successes are a testament to that. Well done to everyone involved.
Camden’s Cabinet Member for Jobs, Young People and Culture, Councillor Sabrina Francis, visited LaSWAP Sixth Form, which is a consortium of four Camden secondary schools, to congratulate students and staff.
Well done to all the Camden students receiving their results today and the brilliant teachers, parents, and others who have helped them on their way. These achievements mark an exciting new chapter, whether it’s heading to university, starting an apprenticeship, or exploring other educational or career pathways.
Camden is proud to support young people in pursuing these ambitions, and we’ll continue working to ensure every young person in the borough has the support, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed - wherever their journey takes them.
