A WARGRAVE school is ‘extremely proud’ of its GCSE and Level 2 results today.
The Piggott School says its GCSE and Level 2 results continue to build upon the consistently strong positive trend of recent years, with students achieving an Attainment 8 score of 61.
This score is well above the national average (typically 46), demonstrating consistently outstanding academic performance across all subjects.
An 89% pass rate (9-4) across all entries is an achievement to be proud of, and the school says it is thrilled to share that 46% of all entries were awarded the highest attainment threshold of grade 7 or above.
13% of all entries were awarded a grade 9.
89% of students passed English, 90% passed Mathematics and 90% passed at least two sciences at Level 4 or above.
39% of students achieved a 7 or above in English, and 51% achieved a 7 or above in Maths. “These results are an incredible achievement,” said headteacher Mrs Rebecca Alexander. “Our combined English and Mathematics Level 4+ pass rate is 85% and our five GCSEs or more Level 4+ including English and Mathematics is 84%.”
First class results were achieved in the majority of qualifications with a significant number of subjects attaining an excellent pass rate of over 90%.
15 subjects achieved over 90% at 9-4 and 7 subjects excelled with 100% 9-4.
“In addition to the GCSE success outlined above, we are proud to share that our students also achieved outstanding outcomes in our vocational accreditation, Performing Arts Dance,” continued Mrs Alexander.
“We are excited that many of our students have chosen to return to study in our sixth form this September.
“It will be a privilege to support them in their continued learning journey and we are looking forward to seeing what they can achieve on an A Level or Level 3 Vocational pathway.
“The results that have been awarded are testament to the hard work, commitment and dedication of our students and staff.
“I am extremely proud of our school community who continue to work together to aim high and motivate our students to do well.
“My thanks to the staff, students and their families for their continued support. “Congratulations to all our students on their well-deserved success.”
