The GCSE results received today at Leweston School were, for the eighth year running, impressively higher than those seen nationally, with the top grades (7 to 9) remaining twice the national average.
Whilst the pass rate across England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 67.6%, at Leweston close to 100% of all entries were awarded Grades 9 to 4. Over a quarter of all grades received were 8s and 9s, with almost half in the 7 to 9 bracket (equivalent to A*-A).
Once again there were some impressive individual results. 11 pupils gained an outstanding 59 grade 9s, 34 grade 8s and 25 grade 7s between them. Congratulations to Caitlin (10 grade 9s, 1 grade 8 and 1 grade 7), Ava (8 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s), Ollie (8 grade 9s and 3 grade 8s) and Yvonne (8 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s).
Over two thirds of all grades in History, Computer Science, Chinese, Fine Art, Music, Geography and German were grade 9 to 7 whilst in Further Maths, Latin and Textiles over half of all grades were 9 to 7.
John Paget-Tomlinson, Headmaster of Leweston, congratulated the students on their achievements:
‘This is a fabulous set of results which represents a lot of hard work and commitment. Once again, they are testament to the pupils’ positive mind-sets and the exceptional support from our professional and dedicated staff’.
