The 2017 results acknowledged some fantastic achievements as a whole cohort as well as specific pupils. There have been many changes to the way in which GCSEs have been recorded but this shouldn’t take away from the dedication and hard work by pupils during their time at Elmwood School. A successful achievement across the core subjects was that 92% of Year 11’s achieved a GCSE B-D equivalent in English and 62% of Year 11’s achieved a GCSE B-D equivalent in Maths; we also saw 80% of the BTEC First Award in Performing Arts cohort secure at least a Level 1 Pass and the same for the cohort in BTEC First Award in Sport. Particular acknowledgement goes to Shani Scott who has become the first pupil EVER to achieve 5 x A*-C GCSE (equivalents), setting a challenging target for the current Year 11’s who are taking it very seriously and truly believe they too can achieve that (or even better).
92% of Year 11’s have secured a Post 16 destination and look forward to commencing the next steps of their education with the continued support from Bev Bailey and the rest of the Elmwood Learning Community (past and present).
