Summary of 2010 Results

The whole school community celebrates the continued annual success of students of all abilities in external examinations. There were high quality passes at Advanced level (with 70% of all entries achieving the top A-C grade).

Staff and students are particularly pleased to note the outstanding success of Faye Maughan. Faye achieved 12 A* grades at GCSE in 2008 and 5 A* grades in A level Physics, Further Mathematics, Mathematics, Economics and General Studies this summer. She will be studying Economics at Newnham College Cambridge. Another outstanding success story is Sophie Quinn who will study Spanish at St. Anne’s College Oxford. In fact a third of our A level students achieved one or more A*/A grades, 44% of all grades were A*-B with a 100% pass rate in twenty four subjects, consequently the vast majority of students have been successful in achieving their university places.

The school continues to expand its post-16 offer and is delighted that a record number of students have met the entrance requirements for sixth form. We are also very proud of the sporting and musical success of the girls as well as their outstanding achievements in local and national competitions. Despite their busy lives students and staff still find the time to make a major contribution to charitable fund raising including supporting financially a school and orphanage in Swaziland, Southern Africa.

Great success occurred at GCSE with high quality grades achieved in all core subjects (English 82%, Mathematics 70%, RE 80%, Technology 80%, Science 81% and Modern Foreign Languages 62%). 67% of students obtained %A*-C incl.
