‘Fantastic’ was the word used to describe this year’s GCSE results at Christleton High School.

An impressive 97% of all Year 11 students achieved 8 or more GCSEs with 75% achieving 5 A*- C grades, (68% when including English and Maths), and staff at the school said they were very pleased with the outcome.

Within the year group, there were some remarkable individual results with 8 students achieving 7 or more A*- A grades and a further 13 achieving 8 or more A*- A grades. Four of these achieved 8 or more A* grades alone.
