Emmbrook School has said it is incredibly proud of the “fantastic” results achieved by its Year 11 students today.

Their hard work and dedication has shone through, as GCSE results are up across the board, with students improving, on average, by half a GCSE grade in every subject compared with last year.

Core subject performance rose dramatically, with English, Maths, and Science all seeing large increases in attainment.

Compared with the 2023 results, students achieving passes in English and Maths rose 15% for the ‘standard’ pass (4+), and by nearly 10% for the ‘strong’ pass (5+) – with similar increases in science pass rates.

Students performed well across the breadth of the curriculum, with particularly high attainment in business, computer science, geography, media, music, religious studies and spanish.

Nick McSweeney, headteacher, said: “I am thrilled that this wonderful cohort of students has performed so well.

“It is particularly pleasing to see the hard work of students and staff in core subjects pay off, as these qualifications are so vital for our students’ life chances.

“Over the past five years, we have invested heavily to expand the range of qualifications we offer our students, and so the breadth of achievement is also very pleasing.

“These impressive results, alongside the strong A-levels last week, show that we continue to improve as a school by setting new performance highs year on year.”

Lorna Panesar, assistant headteacher responsible for Year 11, added: “we are delighted to

congratulate our Year 11 students on their exceptional performance in this year’s GCSE exams.

“Their remarkable results are a testament to their hard work, resilience, and dedication, especially given the challenges of recent years.

“These achievements not only reflect the individual efforts of our students, but also the support of our dedicated staff and the encouragement of their families.

“We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and look forward to welcoming many to our sixth form.

“We are sure that all will continue to thrive in their future endeavours, and wish them all the best for the next phase in their lives.”

Bex Cairns, head of Year 11, added: “it has been an absolute pleasure to be this cohort’s head of year throughout their time at The Emmbrook.

“I am so glad that we got to end on such a high note with these fantastic results – they are so thoroughly deserved.

“I have so enjoyed looking at the results as a whole, as well as all the lovely individual success stories and I cannot wait to see what they achieve going forwards.

“Wherever their next steps take them, I am certain they will go on to achieve wonderful things, and I cannot wait to hear all about them.”

Year 11 student, Alara Kalecik, who earned 8s and 9s across a range of subjects, said “I’d like to thank all my teachers for their amazing support and my family.

“I am extremely happy with my results, and I can’t wait to take the next step to A-level.”

Sera Joseph also received a strong set of results, notably including grade 9s in maths, biology, chemistry and physics.

She said: “I’m really happy with my results and have the grades to move on.”
