Students at Tarporley High School have had an ‘exceptional’ year for GCSE results.
In the first year of the new GCSE qualifications, the school saw nearly 20% of the cohort achieve the very highest of grades (Grade 8 and Grade 9) which is equivalent to grade A* and A** respectively.
Across all grades, a third achieved were at grade 7 or higher (equivalent to an A grade) and more than 80% were above the new grade 4 benchmark (equivalent to a grade C.)
Headteacher Jason Lowe said: “My congratulations go out to all our students who have shown such exceptional commitment to their studies.
“They have been an outstanding year group who have made many valuable contributions to the school. I wish them all the best for the future and look forward to welcoming many of them into our sixth form.
