The school’s director of studies, Stuart Dalley,said: “With ongoing press coverage about thetightening of exam marking, it is wonderful tosee so many top grades being awarded. We aredelighted with such outcomes as the 96 per centA*/A achieved in English literature.

GCSE Results GCSE Results

THERE were “truly impress-ive ” GCSE results for stu-dents at Clifton High School.Almost 50 pupils sat GCSEsthis summer with both boys

and girls achieving many excellentg rades.

Almost 50 per cent of grades wereA* or A and nearly 80 per cent wereA* to B. An impressive 98 per cent ofstudents achieved at least five A* toC grades.

As with A-levels, excellent gradesat GCSE in mathematics and thesciences were matched by those inancient and modern foreign lan-guages as well as the creative sub-j e c t s.

Alison Neill, Clifton High’s head ofschool, said the academic successwas in part down to the DiamondEdge Model of education beingused.

He said: “We are the only co-edu-cational school in the South Westthat teaches boys and girls separ-ately for core subjects during theirformative years in Years 7 to 9.

“The success of this model hasbeen borne out in the excellentA-level and GCSE results our pupilshave achieved over the last fewyears. Our top ten performers atGCSE this year included six girlsand four boys.”

Clifton College

City Academy Bristol

AYEAR of academic success continuedfor Clifton College with outstandingGCSE results. Altogether, 91 per centof exams taken scored A* to B. And animpressive 74 per cent of grades were

A*-A. Some 81 per cent of A* to A grades werein STEM (science, technology, engineeringand maths) subjects, with 96 per cent ofphysics grades, 97 per cent of chemistrygrades and 93 per cent of biology resultsmarked A* to A. Of all the Latin and ancientGreek grades, 83 per cent were A* to A.

The 2015 A-level results were the best everachieved by the school, with 83 per centhitting the top A* to B grades. Girls didespecially well, scoring 88 per cent of gradesA* to B.

Head of college, Mark Moore, said: “Mypersonal congratulations go to all our GCSEpupils. The results reflect a great deal of hardwork and are very well deserved.

“From September 2016, we’re delighted to beoffering even more scholarships and bursar-ies to children from the age of 11.”

HanhamWoods

STUDENTS at Hanham Woods ex-celled to earn the school’s firstresults as an academy. For thethird successive year, staff weredelighted the academy saw an-

other significant increase in its headlinefigure. This year 53 per cent of studentsachieved five A*-C GCSEs including Eng-lish and maths.

There were some outstanding indi-vidual performances from students of allabilities. George Hockenhull, with sevenAs and two A*s, and Velvet Jones, with adistinction*, two A*s, three As, one B andone C, were two of the highest performings t u d e n t s.

A RECORD number of Know-leDGE Learning Centre stu-dents left with GCSEs thisyear. The Learning Centre,in Knowle West, caters for

students aged five to 18 from acrosssouth Bristol with emotional, beha-vioural or mental health difficultiesand has a growing number of stu-dents accessing its services.

This year, 16 students sat GCSEs,eight of whom were able to completethree subjects each, including Eng-lish, maths, science and history. Fiveyears ago, most Year 11 students wereonly sitting entry-level qualifica-tions, not recognised as mainstreamG C S E s.

The school’s head teacher, DarrenEwings, said: “Pupils often join theschool midway through their edu-cation, which presents challenges forthem and us on being ready for main-stream qualifications.

“A mix of high expectations, strongrelationships and support from homeand tailored teaching means thatGCSEs are now becoming more with-in reach.

“Whatever the final grades, weknow that our students will be leav-ing with more opportunities ahead ofthem than ever before.”

KnowleDGE Learning CentreColston’s School

IT was also smiles all round at GordanoSchool in Portishead after students cel-ebrated some superb results, includingthe best set of maths grades in thes ch o o l ’s history.

Seventy-three per cent of students achievedfive GCSE passes including English andmaths and 83 per cent of students achieved aC grade or higher in maths, with 28 per centof maths entries returning an A or A*re s u l t .

A total of 38 students achieved eight ormore A* and A grades. More than a quarter ofall results were A grade or A* and 78 per cent

of all grades were at C or above – about 10 percent higher than the national average.

One of the top performers was AbbieHarrison, 16, from Portbury who achieved 12A* grades and one A.

Abbie said: “I really didn’t expect to getsuch good grades. When I opened them I justcried and hugged my friends.”

The school’s head teacher Gary Lewis said:“This has been another brilliant set of resultsfor us.

“GCSEs are getting notably harder so it isvery pleasing to see that our results havecontinued to climb.”

PUPILS and staff at Colston’s Schoolwere celebrating a strong perform-ance in GCSE examinations, with94 per cent of papers graded A* to Cand an impressive 80 per cent at A* to

B level.Some 43 per cent of papers were awarded

the prestigious A* or A grades. The schoolwas also pleased that 75 per cent of candidatesin the single science subjects achieved eitheran A* or A for their papers. This figure waseven higher in computing, where 90 per centof pupils attained an A* or A.

Particular mentions went to FrancescaJames, who achieved a straight run of 10 A*grades, with George Berry, Carys Guest, TimPike and George Zographou all receiving A*sand As across the board.

The school’s headmaster Jeremy McCul-lough said: “Thursday saw our GCSE stu-dents reaping the rewards for a great deal ofvery hard work over the past two years and itwas terrific to see so many happy studentscelebrating their successes.

“Whether they had swept the board withA*s and As, or if their personal version ofexcellent results was a little lower than this,the fact that so many students, and plenty ofparents too, were able to share in the ex-citement of a job well done was very re-warding. There were notable individualperformances of course but the overall sensewas of students who had achieved results thatthey might not have thought possible just twoyears ago.”

MARLWOOD School waspleased with progress made inmany subject areas and its ex-cellent performance in maths.The school said outcomes for

students were improving and could con-tinue to do so.

However, the school saw its proportionof students being awarded five A*-Cgrades, including English and maths,drop from 66 per cent last year to 45 percent this year.

The school’s headteacher, James Pope,said: “We are disappointed that the overallpicture is skewed by lower than expectedresults in English for some students,which do not reflect the predictions or theprior performance of this subject area.

“Therefore, some of our students havenot achieved the English grade their hardwork and ability deserve.

“In regard to English results, we will beanalysing our data carefully, monitoringthe national picture and we will be raisingconcerns, as appropriate, with the examb o a rd . ”

But he added: “We are delighted withthe individual performance of a largenumber of our students.

“Their results are a reflection of thehard work they have devoted to their studyand the support and dedication of Marl-wood School staff.

“The outcomes are very positive for thefuture education and careers of the stu-d e n t s. ”

MARLWOOD School waspleased with progress made inmany subject areas and its ex-cellent performance in maths.The school said outcomes for

students were improving and could con-tinue to do so.

However, the school saw its proportionof students being awarded five A*-Cgrades, including English and maths,drop from 66 per cent last year to 45 percent this year.

The school’s headteacher, James Pope,said: “We are disappointed that the overallpicture is skewed by lower than expectedresults in English for some students,which do not reflect the predictions or theprior performance of this subject area.

“Therefore, some of our students havenot achieved the English grade their hardwork and ability deserve.

“In regard to English results, we will beanalysing our data carefully, monitoringthe national picture and we will be raisingconcerns, as appropriate, with the examb o a rd . ”

But he added: “We are delighted withthe individual performance of a largenumber of our students.

“Their results are a reflection of thehard work they have devoted to their studyand the support and dedication of Marl-wood School staff.

“The outcomes are very positive for thefuture education and careers of the stu-d e n t s. ”
