GCSE students examination results

We were delighted with the performance

of our Year 11 students. They performed

exceptionally well this year placing the

school amongst the top in the country.

As a result, students were well prepared for

their Sixth Form studies.

A total of 182 Year 11 students completed

their GCSEs at Sandringham. 91% of

students secured at least a 4 in English

and Maths GSCE (standard pass) with 79%

achieving a 5 or over (strong pass.)

The Attainment 8 score, the average of

students’ best 8 subjects, was 6.37,

equivalent to a B grade with 43% of all

grades being a grade 7 or above (A grade).

The estimated Progress 8 score was 0.83

demonstrating that the Year 11 students

achieved almost a whole grade higher in

each subject compared to similar students

in other schools nationally. This puts

Sandringham in the top 100 non-selective

schools, as recognised by the Department

for Education.

Higher education destinations of Year 13

students 2018

We are very proud of all our Year 13 students

who went on to secure their first choice places

at university or on apprenticeship programmes.

With such excellent results, students are now

reading for degrees at the country’s best

universities. Many students are studying at

prestigious Russell Group universities in traditional

subjects such as Law, Economics or Geography. Our

specialisms of STEM and the Arts are proving to be

excellent preparation for university applications,

with growing numbers of students in Art, Film and

Media, Engineering and Computer Science.

Sandringham also provides bespoke support for

non-university pathways with a growing number of

students choosing apprenticeships to continue

their education. Students have secured degree

apprenticeships at prestigious companies such as

Google and Harrods.

They are all now members of the Sandringham

Alumni and we are looking forward to keeping in

touch with them as they progress in their careers.
