GCSE Results

The school are delighted with the students’ excellent performance this year, 14 students achieved 3 or more A* grades, with one student deserving special mention for 9 A*grades  achieved!  Students of all levels of ability have worked extremely hard and achieved the outcomes they deserve, reflected in a pass rate of 100% and and 86% of students achieving 5 grades at  A*-C.  Excellent results were also achieved in the core subjects with 67% achieving 5 A*-C including English and Mathematics.  Our range of vocational subjects means that all our students have what they need for the next phase of their education

The Headteacher, Mrs Staley, said, “ These results are a credit to the hard work and commitment of students and staff and shows that students can achieve their goals and be ambitions.  We are delighted for all the students who are celebrating today and for the staff who have worked so hard to support and encourage them.”  We are pleased to welcome the majority of the Year group into our Sixth Form and expect they will achieve an excellent set of A Level results.

A Level Results August 2010

Results this year were extremely good.  From a 98.6% pass rate through to eight students who achieved  a complete set of A* or A grades almost every student achieved to the best of their ability.  The percentage of A/A* grades and the percentage of A-C grades have improved from last year, with 19.4% achieving A/A* grades and  76.4% achieving A*-C grades.  The pass rate continues high at 98.6%.

Almost everyone has secured the grades necessary for their university place and, despite the very rigorous requirements this year all but a very few have been accepted. New A* grades were awarded in Biology, Chemistry, English, Maths, Further Maths and Physics, with 8 students achieving straight A/A* grades in every subject.  

Students have performed well in every subject and particularly well in Geography, Maths and Psychology. 

We continue to maintain and improve our standards at A Level, these results are a great tribute to the students who focussed very clearly in Year 13,  to the quality of teaching in our Sixth Form and to the Sixth Form staff who have supported and monitored their progress.
