Outstanding GCSE Results

Students at The Peterborough School have celebrated another outstanding set of GCSE results.  100% of Year 11 students gained the benchmark minimum of five GCSEs at grades A* to C with an impressive 49.4% being at the top level of A* or A.

All of the students, except two overseas candidates who just missed out on their English, gained five at A* to C, including English and maths, giving a total percentage of 88.2%.

Over three quarters gained the academically rigorous English Baccalaureate (those gaining five GCSEs at A* to C including English, maths, a science, a language and a humanities subject), with the percentage increasing 7.5% from last year up to 76.5%.

Top academic, Sehar Nazir, led the celebrations with her eight A*s and two As.  Meanwhile, Chloe Laycock was also jumping for joy with five and a half A*s, three As and two Bs.

Headmaster, Adrian Meadows, was again extremely pleased with the students’ achievements:  “Our small year group has done very well and I am delighted to see so many top grades amongst the results.  All of the students achieving the benchmark minimum is extremely pleasing and I congratulate everyone”.
