Highfields students have once again demonstrated their hard work and determination with another excellent set of GCSE results.
Approximately half of all students attained at least one grade 7 and a third of all students achieved three or more grade 7s in total. While almost 60% achieved a strong pass (Grade 5 or above) in both English and Mathematics, and more than three quarters of students achieved a standard pass (Grade 4 or above) in both English and Mathematics.
Mr D Treble, Head of Upper School, said: “Despite unprecedented disruption to education caused by the pandemic over the last few years, staff and students have worked tirelessly to achieve such a fantastic set of outcomes. We are exceptionally proud of all their achievements and wish them every success in the future.
Special mention should go to some exceptional achievements: Georgina Freeland - seven grade 9s and two grade 8s; Aoifé Cheetham - seven grade 9s, one grade 8 and one grade 7; Kyrun Athwal - seven grade 9s, one grade 8 and one grade 7; Jaskeerat Sidhu - six grade 9s, two grade 8s and two grade 7s, and Reece Harries - six grade 9s, two grade 8s and one grade 7.
Alongside these very high attainers are large numbers of students who have made some quite exceptional progress during their time at Highfields. Mr Treble added: “A special mention should go to Liam Goodwin-O'Neill and Nana Serebour who have made the most progress of all students but there are so many of the year group who can be very proud of their achievements. They have a bright future ahead of them. It has been a privilege to support them on their journey.”
