Today we are celebrating record breaking GCSE results!
This morning our school was full of smiling faces as our Year 11 students opened their GCSE result envelopes. The Class of 2026 achieved an incredible set of results, surpassing previous high grades.
With 66% of students achieving a Grade 5 or above in English and maths and 88% a Grade 4, our results are expected to be considerably above the national average. With so many students achieving exceptional grades, it is difficult to recognise every individual success story, however, one particularly remarkable achievement came from Ben L, who secured a Grade 9 in maths with a perfect score of 300 out of 300. In recognition of this exceptional accomplishment, we received a personal message from the OCR Exam Board's Head of Assessment confirming that Ben was one of the highest-performing students in the country.
Our Head of School, Hijab Zaheer, said:
"We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students. Their hard work and dedication has been rewarded with these record-breaking results. We also recognise the dedication and support offered by their teachers and parents and carers. Results as good as these would not be possible without a hugely successful team effort. More important than the numerical records are the facts that our Year 11 students now have the very best chance of making the next step to their chosen further education or training destinations. They now have the keys to open many more doors of opportunity for their futures."
