PRINCETHORPE College is celebrating its best ever GCSE results.
From a cohort of 127 pupils, 48 per cent of all entries were graded 9, 8 or 7 – and 36 pupils achieved eight or more 9, 8 or 7 grades.
Grace McGrory, James Gallagher, Lauren Mason, Alex Rejali and Prajeet Prabakaran all achieved 11 or more grade 9s.
Some 62 per cent of pupils achieved 9, 8 or 7 grades in English, and 72 per cent were graded 9 or 8 in Art.
Overall, 96 per cent of grades achieved were 9-4 grades – the equivalent of the old A*-C grades.
Headmaster Ed Hester said: “I would like to congratulate all of our Year 11 pupils.
“I am delighted with the excellent results they have achieved across the board; it is a privilege to be among so many happy pupils this morning and marvellous to be able to celebrate such success.
“We are of course delighted with the exceptionally high number of top grades, but we are proud of all our pupils who have worked hard and done their very best. While their results are important, this year group have also demonstrated many fine qualities worth celebrating, such as kindness, respect, determination and friendship.
“All credit goes to our pupils and staff for their commitment and hard work. We look forward to welcoming the vast majority of this cohort back into our successful Sixth Form for the next stage of their education.”
