Robert May’s Students Celebrate Exam Results

On Thursday 24th August, Year 11 students at Robert May’s School collected their GCSE results. These results represent years of hard work and this was evident in the grades achieved.

Whilst every student should be proud of their results, there were some individual successes to recognise including our top 5 performers who achieved thirty-five grade 9s (the highest grade available) between them. Behind every set of results, there is a story. Some of our students have had to face significant personal challenges during their GCSE courses and we are rightly very proud of these young people. All of our students will be moving on to pastures new next year, aided by strong results including English and Maths. Most will be starting Sixth Form in September whilst others will be following other routes including apprenticeships.

A number of subjects were particularly strong for Y11s and the School. 77% of students who studied French achieved top marks of grades 7-9. Pleasing also were the results in Biology. Chemistry and Physics where the average grade was a 7.

Headteacher, Rea Mitchell said: ‘We are all so proud of our Y11’s achievement. As well as working hard in class, many attended after-school revision sessions all year and attended the extra days of revision that we put on over the Easter holidays. A huge thank you to all of the staff who have supported the students to achieve results they can be proud of.’
