Year 11 students at Redmaids’ High School had much to celebrate after receiving strong GCSE results.
The school is delighted that 53 per cent of grades are 9 or 8, the equivalent of A* under the previous grading system, and 73 per cent are 9-7, the equivalent of A*-A, compared with the national average of 22 per cent.
The school enjoyed success across several departments, including in Art, PE and Russian where more than half of grades were at a 9.
The results across all areas are a continued testament to the support and guidance offered by staff and the expert pastoral care that allows students to navigate their school life successfully and feel ready to move to their next chapter.
The school’s head Paul Dwyer said: “We have seen some fantastic results, and this is a wonderful reflection of the hard work of our students who have made the most of the opportunities available to them at our school.
“We are delighted to continue to support them as they enter the Sixth Form with us and pursue a diverse range of A Level subjects, including Physics, Computer Science, Modern Foreign Languages and Fine Art, as well as our new exciting programme of Electives. “
