STUDENTS at Fairfield High School are celebrating a strong set of GCSE results, reflecting their aspiration, talent and hard work, alongside the remarkable resilience shown throughout their secondary school journey.
Fairfield’s focus on academic excellence has delivered strong results, with a remarkable ‘no gap’ between girls’ and boys’ attainment at grades 4+ and 7+ in English and maths. Overall attainment at grades 5+ and 7+ also improved on previous years.
Subjects across the sciences, humanities and arts sustained or improved attainment at grades 5+ and 7+. Sports Science also performed strongly in Cambridge Nationals, with over 85% of students achieving a Level 2 Pass or higher.
Beyond the headline figures, Fairfield recognises the achievements of students facing significant medical, social, or emotional challenges who, with the support of many internal teams, are celebrating strong results. The school has seen marked improvements in its headline measures for disadvantaged students.
Vice principal Cashan Campbell said: “Through our collaborative approach across the school community, we have worked hard to ensure that our most vulnerable students have been supported to show their best selves and achieve some great results. We are proud of their achievements.”
Principal Edel Cronin said: “We are immensely proud of our Year 11 students and all that they have achieved. Their attitude, dedication and commitment have been second to none. “Days like these reflect the strength of our school community.”
