OAKBANK SCHOOL students and staff revelled in a fantastic set of GCSE results on Thursday, August 25.
This year’s cohort sat external GCSE exams for the first time since 2019 and have overcome substantial disruption to their learning due to the pandemic.
An impressive 71 percent of pupils achieved a grade 4 or higher in English and 67 percent passed maths.
Every Oakbank candidate in the separate science course secured at least a grade 4.
Of note, Emily Edwards achieved 10 grade 9s, while Harry Chester obtained nine grade 9s and a grade 8.
Headteacher, Steve Jump, said: “We are all incredibly proud of the achievements of our Year 11 students this year. They have had to overcome unprecedented challenges these last couple of years and their achievements are testament to their positive attitudes and determination to succeed.”
The school said that this year’s results demonstrated a significant improvement for the school since the last externally-assessed exams in 2019.
