GCSE results for 2015
August 28, 2015
The release of GCSE and iGCSE results saw pupils and staff celebrating on Thursday. Across all 700 examinations taken, the overall performance at top grades was the highest ever with over two thirds of all exams graded at A*, A or B. As a result of these very high levels of achievement, 42% of the pupils in the cohort gained 4 or more A*/A grades. Some top performers were: Callum Hay–Montier (10A*/ 2A), Magnus Pedersen (6A*/3A), and Tom Yardley (6A*/ 5A).
Headmaster James Fowler commented: “At a time when, as a result of changes to the structure of A Level courses, GCSE results will be more important than for any time in the last 15 years, it is excellent to see that this very capable and industrious group of pupils has done so well. We congratulate them all on their achievements and look forward to seeing their ongoing success as they enter sixth form education. All the teachers have worked incredibly hard to offer our boys and girls the best opportunities for success and will undoubtedly be delighted to see these outcomes.”
