GCSE Results
After our best ever set of A’ Level results last week, it has been the turn of Year 11 to shine…. and they certainly haven’t disappointed!
Mr Williams said:
“We’ve grown quite accustomed to exam success at Lymm High School over the past few years and, whilst we knew this was a great year group and were expecting excellent results, there is always a bit of you worrying that this might be the year when things slip a little!
In the event, these GCSE results are also the best the school has ever had – and in a year where the national picture seems to be that results have dropped slightly. After last week’s phenomenal A’ Level results, I could not be prouder of our students and the dedicated staff who have supported them on their journey.
What is even more important than these results is that they are wonderful young people. We’ve had the pleasure of working with them since Year 7, and watching their well-deserved celebrations this morning as they opened their envelopes has been a truly magical experience.”
The headline GCSE results are exceptionally strong again. For example, 88% of students met the benchmark of grades of 9–4 in both English and Maths, with 71% securing grades 9–5 in both subjects and 34% getting grades 9–7 in both. Across all subjects, 45% of grades were at 9–7. Remarkably, over 70% of our students achieved at least one grade 7 (i.e., equivalent to the old A grade).
A' Level Results
Results days are full of emotion, a mixture of excitement and apprehension as the envelopes are opened and the eagerly anticipated results are revealed. They also provide a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the hard work of our students, and staff, over the previous 2 years and none more so than this year. We are delighted to say that the Year 13 students sitting their exams this year have done extremely well and have in fact surpassed the record set by last year’s cohort, to take the mantle of our best ever Post-16 results.
Mrs Jennings, Head of Sixth Form, said:
“I am absolutely delighted. This cohort has been an exceptional group of students, not just in terms of their exam results, but as well-rounded and delightful individuals. It has been a privilege to see how they have progressed over the last 2 years and the fantastic individual results they have achieved. I really am so proud of them.”
Once again nearly all Lymm High Sixth Form students have already secured places at their preferred universities. This includes very high numbers heading off to the most prestigious institutions, including Oxbridge, and onto the most competitive courses, such as medicine.
