St Edmund’s students are celebrating fantastic GCSE, BTEC and VCert results this year.

78% of our 2017 Y11 examination candidates achieved the new GCSE grades 9 to 4 in Mathematics and 74% in English.  Grade 4 is equivalent to grade C and grade 8 equates to A*. Grade 9 is the highest grade and St Edmund’s students are among the very best of the small percentage of those awarded grade 9 nationally.

54% of students today receive news that they hold A*, A, or the highest new grade 9 when they open their results.

Our highest achieving students are Summa Bains; 9,8,7, 5A*, 2A. Akash Paul; 9,8,7, 2A*, 5A. Sabrina Agbonmare; 8,8,8,7A. Amir Muhammed 8,6,6, 2A*, 5A.

Students have done particularly well in GCSEs Art, Biology, Chemistry, English, French, Italian, Mathematics, Music, Polish, Product Design, RE and Russian.

Principal Maggie Hughes said:

Our students fully deserve their success, given the effort they have invested in their learning and progress. Once again, I commend the students and staff for working in close partnership to secure these outstanding outcomes. Five years of commitment and dedication have been worthwhile

This is the first year that students are awarded number grades in GCSEs Mathematics and English. I am particularly delighted that our students have achieved grade 9s in both these subjects.

Our students, their families and St Edmund’s can be justly proud of Y11 2017. With so many of our students attaining such high standards I look forward to welcoming them to continue their education at St Edmund’s when they join our successful Sixth Form next month.
