A number of our students also made exceptional progress this year and, thanks to their hard work, exceeded their target grades and performed beyond expectations, with a special mention going to Conor Anac, Amy Austen, Isabel Brightmore (Student Voice Leader) , Christian Bevière, Georgie Fitt and Megan Smith (Deputy Head Girl).
Our students have achieved these excellent results across a broad range of subjects, which reflects the richness of the Hillview curriculum and strong Sixth Form ethos. Students secured amazing grades in both academic and vocational courses. Highlights include: Art (63% A*-B), Childcare (100% A*-A), Dance (100% A*-B), Textile Design (1/3 of students gaining A*-A), English Literature with 100% A*-C and English Language and Literature (40% A*-B), Religious Studies (80% A*-C), Sport (88% A*-A) and our Applied Science with 70% Distinction grades.
We are also thrilled that all of our students are moving on to a positive destination in employment, apprenticeships, further or higher education. For students wishing to go to university 91% have already secured offers so far, with 90% of those receiving a place on their first choice course at their preferred university.
Headteacher Hilary Burkett commented: “Yet again our Hillview students have done themselves proud and have achieved some wonderful results; following some real hard work over the past 2 years. A huge congratulations to all of our students and thanks to the teachers and staff at Hillview for their dedication and to our parents for their support”.

Hillview School for Girls, Tonbridge. A state school for girls aged from 11 to 18. Local authority: Kent.SISTER ACT PRODUCTION 2018
What a rockin’ finish we’ve had to a fantastic year at Hillview! Our annual production this year was ‘Sister Act’ and has been so much fun to produce, with its success laying at the feet of the students who grabbed ownership of the show from the word GO! They put their all into the production – they were passionate, dedicated and their creativity shone through – really living each part. It was also very exciting that we were able to use the actual costumes and set from the National Touring version of the production. The whole Hillview community is proud of their commitment and hard work which they give day in, day out, in everything that they do. A true credit to what we believe in at Hillview. Thanks, as always, to the Performing Arts team for their hard work and all members of the Hillview community that supported. What a fabulous end to an incredible year!! Well done!
