Following on from Tarporley High School’s successful A Level results last week, GCSE students have once again achieved ‘outstanding’ grades.
This year’s results mark the first cohort who have completed the new GCSE qualifications in English language, English literature and maths, where the grading system spans from grade 9 (the highest grade) to grade 1 (the lowest).
Impressively, over a quarter achieved grade 7 (equivalent to an A grade) or above in English and maths with over 41% of the cohort achieving a 7 or above in GCSE English.
This year also saw the introduction of the newly designed grade 9 which recognises the very highest performing pupils. Remarkably, nearly 50 of these prestigious grades were awarded to Tarporley students.
The outstanding school also scored particularly highly as a third of all grades awarded overall were at grade 9/A*/A.
Headteacher Sarah Lee said: “My congratulations go out to all our conscientious students who have shown such exceptional commitment to make excellent progress.
“As always, I would like to thank their families for all the support they have given over the last five years. I would also like to offer my thanks to our passionate and dedicated staff who have worked extremely hard to enable all of our students to achieve.”
