STUDENTS, staff and parents at Holme Grange School celebrated an impressive 96% overall pass rate on GCSE results day.

The school boasted all passes in Further Maths, Food Technology, Sciences, Computer Science, DT, Geography, and Modern Languages.

In French, grades 8 or 9 were secured by 64% of this year’s cohort, while 68% achieved 9-7 in Chemistry.

Humanities students also performed strongly, with 43% of geographers, 44% in Religious Studies and 65% of Historians receiving 9-7 grades.

Claire Robinson, Head of Holme Grange School said: “I cannot express how proud I am of our students and congratulate each and every one of them on their achievements. I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our exceptional team – both our teachers and teaching assistants. Staff and students have once again shown the ‘Holme Grange Way’ – a commitment to facilitating an environment where every child can, and does, excel.

“Special congratulations to Seamus, Ruby, and Raeis. Seamus achieved a remarkable seven grade 9s, two grade 8s, and one grade 7. Ruby, an embodiment of consistent excellence, secured seven grade 9s, while Raeis shone with five grade 9s.
