Congratulations to pupils for achieving fantastic GCSE results

We would like to extend a huge congratulations to all of our pupils receiving their GCSE results today, 21% of GCSE grades were 9s and 54% were 9-7, with 31 different subjects offered. With plenty of reason to celebrate, it was a joy to share their successes with friends, parents and teaching staff this morning.

We caught up with a few of our pupils to speak about the fantastic grades they have achieved, how the support they received helped achieve these grades and what they are most looking forward to about joining our Sixth Form;

Joung Youn achieved a full set of grade 9s and is looking forward to going on to study Double Maths, Economics and Music in our Sixth Form this September.

Amy will be studying Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Economics with us after receiving nine 9s and two 8s in her GCSEs. She added that all the teachers were really helpful and the revision clinics were the best thing to push results over the edge and get into the grade boundaries.

Sai is continuing to the Sixth Form where he will be studying P.E., Maths and Biology. He’s most looking forward to meeting new people and continuing with sports at the college. He said the teachers have all been really supportive, helping with revision to achieve his grades.

Head of College, Dr Tim Greene, said: “I would like to congratulate all our pupils on securing such an excellent set of results. Today we have seen that the hard work of the pupils and the support of their teachers have really paid off. I very much look forward to welcoming all the pupils back in a few weeks as they start their post-16 studies, ready to enjoy all that the Sixth Form has to offer.”

Deputy Head Academic, Dr Gavin Turner, said: “Our Year 11 cohort have posted an excellent set of GCSE results and I congratulate them on their achievements. This follows last week’s pleasing A level and BTEC results and paves the way for a very strong showing in two year’s time when this cohort is at the top of the school. There are some excellent individual successes and I commend them for their hard work across the two years of GCSE study and throughout the examination period. Very well done to all!”

Another big congratulations from everyone at Clifton College, we hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and look forward to welcoming you back to the Sixth Form in September.
