Queen Elizabeth’s School is delighted with the success of its students who achieved an exceptional set of results in their GCSE examinations: 81% of all students gained an A*-C in English with 75% gaining an A*-C in maths. Those achieving at least 5 A*- C including English and maths, the standard by which most schools are judged, was 66%, with 71% of all students gaining 5A*-Cs. This shows continuous improvement on last year and is one of the best set of GCSE results that the school has ever achieved. Students achieved extremely well across the board with further outstanding success in modern languages, triple science, the arts and PE.
The school recognises achievement at all levels and behind these figures lie countless individual student success stories but some examples of those achieving the highest grades are:
- Amy Wolstenholme – 8 A* and 1 A
- Emily-Jane Morris – 7 A* and 3 A
- Ella Hearne – 7 A* and 2 A
- Arthur Newton – 5 A* and 3 A
- Jason Sotheran – 5 A* and 3 A
- George Lloyd – 4 A* and 4 A
- Joshua Whiteman – 3 A* and 6 A
- Natasha Lavers – 3 A* and 6 A
Headteacher Martin McLeman is not surprisingly, delighted by the pupils’ efforts:
“Our students continue to demonstrate their hard work and commitment – they thoroughly deserve their success. I would also like to thank my staff for their dedication in achieving these excellent results and we should also recognise the support and guidance of the students’ families. I am even happier that our GCSE success follows our equally impressive A level results earlier in the month.”
