“We are delighted with the results achieved by the Year 13 of 2024 and congratulate them for their efforts. We are hugely proud of them all. Throughout their time at Howell’s they have all grown and dedicated themselves to achieving continuous excellence. I am confident that this growth and the values that our students have developed during their time here stand them in good stead in their future studies and careers.

This year’s cohort were the first to sit the brand-new Digital Technology A level. This subject advances learners’ understanding of how innovations in digital technology, and the increasing levels of connectivity between them, impact the lives of those who use them and the wider society. Three of these students achieved an A*; two of these are now going on to study Computer Science as undergraduates and the other is combining her passion for digital skills with her top grade in Product Design to study Architecture.
Deputy Principal and Head of Digital Learning, Cathy Darnton said:
“I am delighted that our class of young women have widely developed skills in coding, game design web development and an understanding of the role of artificial intelligence in a future we can’t yet see.”
