GCSE results day: students jump for joy at Wycombe High School

At Urswick School, 50 per cent of the year group have secured five or more A*-C grades including English and maths – an improvement of 12 per cent on last year’s results. “More than one in two students achieved an A*/A, whilst nearly every student achieved at least five GCSE passes”.

Some of the Kirkham school’s top performing students gained A*-A grades across all of their exams.

Previous year 40 per cent of students achieved the top grades.

Vice principal Ben Creaser said: “These results show that performance in our core and option subjects are great, enabling our students to progress onto their chosen post-16 courses and apprenticeships”.

Wendy Marshall, chief executive of the David Ross Education Trust, of which Skegness Grammar School is a part, said: “We have very high expectations at Skegness Grammar School and these are reflected in results that are continuing to impress”.

STUDENTS across St Helens have been celebrating after receiving their GCSE results.
