Year 12 pupils, their teachers and parents can be justly proud of their GCSE achievements this summer.

80% of students gained a minimum of 5 grades in the A* - C range with 50% achieving a minimum of 7 grades A* - C. There were outstanding successes in subjects such as Art, Agriculture, Business Communication Systems, BTEC Sport, Construction, Child Development, Drama, English Literature, Engineering, Prince’s Trust, Music, Technology and across a range of Occupational Studies. This success was reflected further in the more traditional subjects such as Double Award Science, Further Maths and History and Spanish. Results were achieved in a full range of general and applied courses providing pupils with a wide range of options for their future pathways.

In congratulating his pupils, the Principal noted that such success comes as a result of hard work on the part of pupils, diligence on the part of teachers, combined with commitment from parents.

Over 30 students achieved at least 2 A* - A grades. This cohort achieved 110 A*/A grades and 396 B grades, while a large number of students achieved combinations of high grades, at least 5 of which came into the A-B range.

Congratulations to top performers Shana Agnew, Miley Douglas, Benedicta Onah, Gabriella Onah, Sophia Stefan and Cara Rennie achieving all GCSE grades in the A*/A/B range.

70% of this cohort achieved a minimum of 3 A*/A/B grades across all subjects.

Special mention to Tom Knox who achieved 11 grades in the A* - C range and Joel Agnew achieving 10 grades in the A* - C range. Samuel Evans, Lenny McClinton, Charlotte McAllister, Matthew McDonald and Samuel Ng Kah Hoong achieved 9 GCSEs in the A* - C range. A further 60 students achieved seven or eight GCSE passes at A* - C.

There are numerous other excellent combinations of grades which deserve special credit and it is encouraging to note that the majority of all students achieved at least 5 good grades.

We extend congratulations also to those who had achievements commensurate with their gifts, including 96% of students who studied two A Level grades and achieved Pass, Merit or Distinction grades in preparation for their chosen careers. In particular, it has been impressive to observe many students overcoming challenges and, through their determination, achieving standards beyond their hopes as well as developing significant leadership and interpersonal skills in the process.

In another unique year with qualification outcomes students have excelled with the school year adaptations and examination syllabi which have proved challenging. The following subject areas achieved 100% A – C grades: Art, English Literature, Life & Health Science, Child Care, Single and Double Award Information Technology and CTEC Business.

He acknowledges the unfailing support of the Board of Governors, the generosity of parents and pays tribute to the commitment of the teaching and support staff of the college.
