GCSE Results Summer 2011

I’m pleased to announce that our Y11 A*-C pass rate in GCSE has risen slightly from last year’s 75.9% to 78.1%. However the exciting news is that the percentage of students getting higher grades has risen to 60% getting A*-B, which is significantly higher than the national average of 45%.

Y11 did particularly well in the compulsory subjects of Maths and English, with 95% passing with A*-C in Mathematics and 90% in English compared to the national norms of 65% passing Mathematics, and 69% passing English.

Looking ahead to next year, Y10 have made an excellent start, with 19 out of 21 achieving A*-C grades in English Language a year early. 83% of the Science modules taken by Y10s this year were A*-C grades with 37.5% being A* or A. Many students have made an excellent start with their Spanish and Geography modules; the Psychology module results are excellent with 62.5% of pupils achieving Grade A (and 37.5% getting a B).

The Y9 linguists have also set a very high standard, 100% A*-B in their Spanish modules with the vast majority being A* or A, and three students have completed their French GCSEs all with A* grades.

Particular mentions should go to:

• Maria Gendelman for her A* in her Photography A-level with nearly full marks (398/400);
• Rupert Sadler for achieving the following grades: A*, A*, A*, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, B;
• Chloe Dreux for achieving A*, A*, A*, A, A, A, A, A, A, B, B;
• Toby Jackson for achieving A* in his English IGCSE, and straight A* grades in his Science modules.
• Marat Guysin for achieving A in his English IGCSE, and straight A* grades in his Science modules.

I’m sure you will all join me in congratulating all the students who took GCSE exams this year. They have worked hard and have some results of which they can be proud. It is now for the 21 students in Y11 to carry the torch.

Yours faithfully,
