Ellesmere College students are celebrating an 83% pass rate in the GCSE results today, with 31% of all grades in the top 9-7 range (A*/A equivalent).
There were some particularly notable performances at the top band of level 9 and 8, with several students achieving multiple level 9s and 8s within their GCSE portfolio of success.
Highlights include:
Anna (from Nantwich) six level 9s and three level 8s
Tabby (from Ellesmere) four level 9s, one level 8
Arthur (from Aston, Nantwich) three level 9s, one 8
Monty (from Shrewsbury) two level 9s and seven level 8s
Lucy (from Penley) two level 9s, six level 8s
Gavin (from Swansea) three level 9s
Some of these top performances were combined with dedicated engagement in Arts and Sports at a competitive level, which makes their achievement even more impressive.
Most of the current students are now looking forward to returning to the College in September to continue their academic journey into Sixth Form and study their choice of A Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB) for the next two years.
Vicky Pritt Roberts, Headmaster, said: “It is a pleasure to see how well pupils have achieved across the board, and rewarding to see nearly half of the 22 subjects offered achieve 100% pass rate.
“I commend all who have worked so diligently and congratulate them on their hard-earned success.
“These GCSE results are a testament to their exceptional attitude, unwavering commitment, and perseverance throughout the academic year.
“This success reflects the dedication and hard work of the students, parents and the staff, who have supported them every step of the way.
“They are now very well prepared to embark on their Sixth Form programme with us and we look forward to seeing them in September.”
This follows on from last week’s excellent A level results and destinations, which saw students celebrating a 97% pass rate at A level, with some outstanding individual performances and students securing places at top universities across the UK and overseas.
