Highfields students have once again demonstrated their hard work and determination with another excellent set of GCSE results.
More than half of all students attained at least one grade 7 and almost a third of all students achieved three or more grade 7s in total. While almost 60% achieved a strong pass (Grade 5 or above) in both English and Mathematics, and 77% of students achieved a standard pass (Grade 4 or above) in both English and Mathematics.
Mr D Treble, Head of Upper School, said: “This year’s GCSE results are a true reflection of the determination and resilience of our students. We also extend our thanks to our dedicated teachers and supportive parents who have played a crucial role in guiding our students to success. We are exceptionally proud of all their achievements and wish them every success in the future.”
Special mention should go to some exceptional achievements: Freya Perry - nine grade 9s and one grade 6; Finley Powell - six grade 9s, three grade 8s and one grade 7; George Bridges - six grade 9s, three grade 8s and one grade 6; Joel Roberts - five grade 9s, three grade 8s and one grade 7, and Govind Maan - six grade 9s, one grade 8 and two grade 7s and one grade 6.
Alongside these very high attainers are large numbers of students who have made some quite exceptional progress during their time at Highfields. Mr Treble added: “A special mention should go to Ashvir Dhaliwal, Alyssa Round, Ethan O’Reilly and Millie Flannery who have made the most progress of all students but there are so many of the year group who can be very proud of their achievements.”
As our students prepare for the next stage of their academic journey, whether that be continuing with A-levels, vocational courses, or entering the world of work, we are confident that the skills they have developed will lead them to further success.
Once again, congratulations to all our students on their fantastic achievements.
