Exam results
Summer 2019
Our students are celebrating yet another successful haul of GCSE results.
The sun shone as they collected their results, with lots of happy faces – and a few happy tears – as those all-important brown envelopes were opened.
Vickey Poulter, Head of School, said: “We are delighted with this year’s results as staff and students worked exceptionally hard and many students achieved above expectations in all subject areas.
“It is fantastic to see the success of such a dedicated and enthusiastic year group and I wish them every success in the future in their chosen courses/careers.”
73% of all pupils achieved a good pass level 4+ in English and Maths, with a quarter (24%) of all exam results at level 7-9 (A/A*). Over 80% of exams sat achieved level 4 and above.
10% of all exams were gained at the very highest level (8-9, formerly A*), with three pupils – Annie Baigent, Diaan Gill and Edward Evans – achieving Grade 9s in four of their subjects.

Summer 2018
Our students have come up trumps with an impressive haul of level 8 and 9s in their GCSE exams.
Vickey Poulter, Head of School, said: “I am delighted to say that 35% of our students achieved at least 3 or more 7+ (A/A* equivalent) grades and 25% of all grades were at 7 or above.
“It’s an excellent achievement and the hard work of our staff and students has been rewarded in a year where the exams in all subjects have become more challenging and harder to secure these top grades. I am incredibly proud of them all.”
“We are particularly delighted with the grades for languages again this year – in Spanish half of the cohort achieved a 7-9 grade for the second year running and in Latin 58% of the cohort secured the top grades. 52% of all students achieved 5+ in English and Maths and 71% at 4+ in English and Maths.”
Well done to all students on their achievements this year. A number of students made excellent progress based on the new progress and achievement measures who should be particularly congratulated:
Top achievement – Grace Anderson, Sophie Burr, Adam Castle, Bea Cornwell, Holly Derrett, Lucas Hockley, Iain Lynn, Keira Sibbons, Imogen Sole, Libby Taylor.
