The cohort of Year 11’s in 2022 have demonstrated great resolve and commitment during the re-introduction of examinations post COVID-19. As a school we are always striving to provide each and every cohort the best possible opportunities and outcomes, this year has been no different.

This year will see many “comparisons” between 2020 and 2021 but as a school community we will celebrate the 2022 cohort in their own right, as the wealth of positive messages we received from pupils, parents / carers and professionals following their leavers assembly really emphasized the true purpose of our schools roles and responsibilities in developing well rounded and beautiful people who are a credit to our schools values and vision.

There were though many “firsts” yet again this year – and these were the standout moments:

  • 12 /17 (71%) of pupils achieved a GCSE Math’s result.
  • 3/4 (75%) of pupils achieved a grade 4 or 5 in GCSE Art.
  • 2 pupils achieved a Level 2 Distinction in their BTEC Sport – our highest ever grade across any BTEC qualification suite.
  • 5/7 (71%) of pupils achieved a Level 2 Pass in their BTEC Performing Arts – our most successful cohort.
  • Maintained 100% pass rate within BTEC Home Cooking Skills (Level 1 and Level 2).

I look forward to engaging with all pupils and Post-16 destinations to continue to support our Year 11 leavers with 94% of pupils having a named Post-16 destination for September – this is a positive outcome that reinforces the schools curriculum INTENT is meeting the needs of its pupils.

Well done and congratulations – enjoy this day with your friends and family and remember to surround yourself with Only Good People (OGP).
