Outstanding GCSE and A-Level Results
Examination Results
This year, students are less likely to have missed their required grades, because the lottery of exam performance has been removed. Reliance on Centre Assessment Grades will have provided a more positive situation for the majority. Certainly the majority of our students will have made entry requirements for their first choice A Levels, and those who haven’t will be supported in making the most appropriate alternative choices.
This is a perennial issue that schools face, and we are well versed in supporting students through these challenges. Firstly, we have a full time careers advisor, with significant experience. Students are able to book zoom calls with her in order to discuss their options and access courses that meet their grade profile. This will compliment the discussions that have already taken place during Year 11.
We have a dedicated pastoral team of UK trained, experienced specialists, who can best advise students on subject combinations, and are able to have those honest conversations with students about suitable pathways.
Our heads of department are data rich and savvy. This enables them to explain clearly to students the source of grades, with full transparency.
We have an excellent exams officer, who has been working tirelessly to keep parents abreast of the changing situation regarding appeals. She will support families with the post-results services available this year, offering expedited and expert administration.
Our students were all placed in their first choice A Level options, for those subjects they were anticipated to meet entry requirements for. They will now have the opportunity to change their courses via the Vice Principal for curriculum. This guidance will be sent out alongside results.
Finally, we have a wraparound support team, including a counsellor, and experienced sixth form team who can advise students particularly disappointed with results of their optimal pathway beyond GCSEs. Mr Robert Kesterton, Vice Principal.
