Results in English, mathematics and science were the school’s best ever with 74% of students achieving at least a grade four in English, 64% in mathematics and 66% in Science. Numbers of students achieving a strong pass or better has risen again with almost half of students securing a Grade 5 or better in English or mathematics. Outcomes in history, French, Spanish, art, drama and all three sciences were strong.
A special mention must be made of the outstanding performances of some students who gained some amazing GCSE qualifications.

“I am immensely proud of Year 11 students and congratulate them on their determination, commitment and dedication, especially in their final year, which have produced some awesome success stories.
I would also like to thank the parents and carers of our Year 11 students who have played the most important role in this success, for the support they have given to their children and to the school throughout the 5 year journey. They will be rightly proud of the achievements of their sons and daughters.
On behalf of the governing body and all staff at the school, I wish our Year 11 students every success for the future”.

GCSEPod
GCSEPod is an invaluable online resource of numerous short “pods” that focus on specific topics in a short burst of clear, concise information with specific terminology, definitions and explanations. Students can download an app to their phones so they can be revising when they are out and about. Pods can even be downloaded in advance so that it doesn’t eat into anyone’s data allowance. Use the pods to help with topics when your child is stuck on an exam question.
Hegarty Maths
Hegarty Maths is an online Maths instruction, revision and assessment resource which promotes independent learning. Use Hegarty Maths with your child as they go through the Maths Exam papers that can be found on Show My Homework (2 copies of the higher paper, 1 copy of the foundation).
Educake
Educacke is an online Science revision and assessment tool. Students can be set tasks to complete by their teachers or produce their own revision questions based upon their own needs. Educake gives instant feedback so this is a good tool to use with your child either to ascertain topics that need revision or to check that revision has made an impact.
