The pupils’ results showed a continued improvement with students in almost all subjects either meeting or exceeding their challenging targets.

These results included a 100 per cent pass rate for all BTEC courses.

Particularly strong this year were the results in maths and science with 76 and 84 per cent of pupils respectively achieving A*to C grades in the subjects.

Across all subjects, 87 per cent of students gained five or more grades A* to C - an increase of six per cent on last year, while 60 per cent gained five or more grades A* to C in subjects including English and maths - an increase of four per cent on last year.

Exceptional individual performances included Ben Wadsworth, who gained nine A*s and one A, Nicola Bywater, who gained seven A*s and two As and Matthew Fulcher, with one A*, seven As and a B.

Headteacher Joy Mitchell said: “I‘m delighted with this year’s GCSE results, not only because of the number of individual successes that we have had for so many of our students, but also for the exceptional progress made in maths - exceeding their target by seven per cent.
