Our Year 11 students performed exceptionally well, particularly given the disruption to their education over the past few years.
90% of students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grade 4 or above, and 87% achieved this benchmark including GCSE English and Maths.
Both of these match the school’s results from when public exams were last sat in 2019.
Furthermore, the number of students achieving the highest grades was particularly impressive; 214 grade 9s were awarded (13% of all grades achieved) and 303 grade 8s (17% of all grades achieved).
This is a school examination record and, given the news about a decline in the top grades being achieved nationally, it demonstrates how our students have excelled.
49% of all GCSE grades achieved were grades 7 to 9 (vs 32.7% nationally)
Our published Progress 8 (P8) figure is +0.78. This measure is designed to show how much progress each student has made from Year 6 to Year 11. A score above +0.50 is defined as “well above average”.
Lucy Macdonald, Headteacher, added: “We are so pleased with the excellent GCSE grades that the students have achieved and they should feel rewarded for all their hard work. I would also like to acknowledge all the work that the staff here at HWS have done in supporting our Year 11 students. I very much hope the students will continue to be successful in their next steps and would like to pass on our congratulations to all the students”.
