Students celebrated at Great in Greenwich Awards
Greenwich’s highest achieving and hardest working students have been celebrated at the third annual Great in Greenwich Awards.
Woolwich Town Hall played host to students, along with their families, to honour an incredible set of results the class of 2025.
Dressed to the nines, young people from schools across the borough were given an award having been nominated by their teachers for attainment or hard work and perseverance throughout their studies.
Cllr Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “These young people show what it means to Be Great in Greenwich.
“School can be hard – but our students put in weeks, months and years of hard work and it has paid off and then some. It was a privilege to see the pride on their faces, and to see what it meant to their families who were there to celebrate.
“Whatever the path now – college, university or heading off to work – I am so proud that their journey started here in Greenwich.
“A huge thank you to all our teachers who have supported students, not only with their studies but with their wellbeing as well. School is a home away from home and in Greenwich we’re lucky to have fantastic secondary schools and colleges right here on our doorstep.”
Cllr Khaireh was joined by the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Cllr Linda Bird, to welcome and meet students and their families.
2025 was a great year for Royal Greenwich schools. At A-level, we saw an increased number of students receiving A to B and A* to C grades. At GCSE level, nearly two-thirds of pupils secured a pass in both maths and English, with almost half achieved a strong pass (Grade 5 or above).
Applications are now open for your child to attend a secondary school in the borough and to Be Great in Greenwich. Applications close on 31 October 2025.
