GCSE Results 2018

Our Year 11 pupils are celebrating their GCSE results.

Despite the policy to increase the difficulty of the examinations and the need for a new dictionary to explain the new measures, there were some stupendous performances. Laila W is one of 732 pupils across the country to achieve straight 9s across 9 subjects. Hannah B achieved 8 grade 9s and Liam M 7. There were 39 pupils who achieved better than 6 grade 7s and A grades.  50% of all grades in Physics were a 9.The pass rate in English and Maths was above 90% and the “old” EBacc score was 61%. It is difficult to compare year groups because of the changes to examinations but overall the achievement of the cohort was very similar to last year’s.

Amelia S, Shaun O, and Sahil D were progress champions and achieved fantastic results.

Well done to pupils and staff for all their hard work.

Other impressive performances were: James P who will fulfil his dream of studying Chinese Studies at Durham, and Mustafa F, 4A* and off to Imperial College to read Chemical Engineering.

The Real Schools Guide published in Liverpool Echo has given our secondary phase it's highest rating ever.  5 star across the board and top 5 in Merseyside.  We are apparently the 174th ranked school out of more than 3100 in the country. Exactly how these rankings are made remains a little bit of a secret recipe, but we are delighted to see the efforts of pupils and staff recognised in this way.
