GCSE Resuts

Percentage gaining level 4+ in both English and mathematics: 74%
English: 71% of grades are at 5 and above
Mathematics: 59% of grades are at 5 and above

Head teacher Vicky Neale said, “ This year saw massive changes to GCSE and we are delighted that, right across the ability range, our students have done so well. The new 7,8,9 grades make up almost a quarter of our grades and just under half of all students achieved the most challenging qualification, the full English Baccalaureate. Very, very few students nationally will have achieved a grade 9 and so we especially congratulate Clare Hole and Wilf Harvey who achieved this in nine subjects, Daniel Garcia-Leon who secured it in eight subjects and Logan Pyle whose excellent overall performance included six grade 9s. All these pupils pursue a range of other interests supporting our view that an all- round education produces better results than a narrow focus on examinations.

These superb results, following last week’s excellent ‘A’ level performance, crown another hugely successful year for County in and out of the classroom. Once again, I thank the staff who do such an excellent job and congratulate all the students: they certainly deserve to celebrate their achievements today.”

Head Teacher, Vicky Neale said, “ Every year, ‘A’ level results day is about celebrating the success of our students from across the ability range and seeing them move on to their chosen career paths. Today is no exception and I am delighted that the strength of our results once again means that, despite all the changes, our students are excited to be going to the destinations of their choice. Amongst a large number of students with the highest grades are this year’s Head Students, Ben Amroota and Rebecca Severy, with A*A*, A*, A and 4 A*s respectively together with Jack Emmerson with 3 A*s who, along with others, will make an excellent doctor. I thank our parents for their support and the staff for all they do. On behalf of their teachers and tutors, I congratulate the students: we wish them every success for the next phase of their lives.”

The French Experience

This annual trip went to the Opal Coast for a week which combined sightseeing with a wide range of fun activities. The group of year nine and ten students stayed in a chateau and were immersed in French throughout.
