Three-quarters of the year group (141 pupils) achieved all 7-9s (A*/As) with 29 students scoring all 9s.
In key subjects such as Mathematics, 98% of all grades were 7-9 (A/A*) with 130 students achieving 9s; in English and English Literature over 94% of students achieved 7-9 grades, with 3 students – Arun, Ihsan and Hannah – receiving 100% in all their English Literature papers. Students studying Modern Languages did incredibly well with top marks (7-9s) in Mandarin and straight 9s in Italian, Japanese and Russian. In all three Sciences, over 95% of all grades were 7-9 and in Physics 73% of all grades were 9; in Computing 100% of all grades were 7-9s.
Students have achieved this academic excellence whilst also enjoying success in sport, music and drama. For example:
Head, David Goodhew commented: “I’m absolutely thrilled for our students and their parents. They have set a new school record with 95% of all grades being 7,8 or 9, which is equivalent to A*/A. and three quarters of the year group have achieved all 7s,8s and 9s. These incredible results come after so much uncertainty and turbulence over the last few years and I applaud our students for their resilience and hard work. My thanks also go to our staff for the amazing support they’ve provided as well as the inspirational and dedicated teaching.”
