Students are celebrating after collecting their GCSE results today.

Mrs Boyce, Headteacher, said: “We are very pleased with our results this year. Results this year are broadly in-line with those from last year. The numbers of pupils securing a grade 4 and above in both English and Maths remains strong which is fantastic news and really opens doors and secures futures for young people.

“75% of our young people have secured the results necessary to go on to study for Level 3 qualifications at Key Stage 5.

“Results in Maths, Drama, Business Studies, English Literature, Food, Media and Construction are especially high.”

Sophie Lane achieved grades ranging from 6 to 8 and is moving on to Rolls-Royce for an apprenticeship in Engineering.

She said: “I’m really happy with my grades, they were more than I was hoping for. I had to have a lot of interviews for the apprenticeship and I’m really looking forward to it now.”

Maisie Gore achieved grades ranging from 4 to 7 and will be studying A Levels in Business, Maths and Geography.

Burek Przemyslaw was celebrating grades ranging from 7 to 8 and will go on to study A Levels in Maths, Physics and Further Maths.

He said: “I love maths because I am quite a logical person and it feels quite natural for me. I’m happy with my results. I have been away and we didn’t get back until 1am this morning as our flight was delayed for three hours so I’ve not had much sleep!”

Maria Ingham achieved top grades including two 8s and will study A Levels in Sociology, English and Religious Studies.

She said: “I did feel nervous before I got my results but I’m really happy with them.”
