GCSE Results 2012

This year’s GCSE results are the best in the school’s history surpassing last year’s record results. 67.32% of the grades are A*/A which beats the previous high of 65.51% last year; a superb achievement. 31.38% of the grades were at the top grade, A*, also the highest in the school’s history. The year group is clearly a very talented one and I am very proud of what has been achieved by staff and students working effectively together. Just under 90% of the grades were at B or above. 98.4% of students achieved 5 A*-C grades including mathematics and English.

38 students achieved 10 A*/A grades or better with 7 students securing 10 A* or more in their GCSEs which emulates last year’s record outcomes. 

These results provide an excellent foundation for success at A level and the outstanding work ethic demonstrated at GCSE marks this year group out as one with outstanding potential. With hard work and commitment to their studies in the sixth form this year group can do very well. My congratulations to all students and staff.
