Fundraising Success

Well done to William (Year 7) and Grace (Year 5) for raising £20.00 for the Bath Cats and Dogs Home. The pair made bracelets, notebooks and pictures to sell at the School's Summer Fundraiser and they each received a lovely certificate for their efforts.

Writing Challenge Success

Congratulations to Zak (Year 9) for entering the 2018 Bible Project and winning a book for his efforts. The competition asked entrants to write a story based on the character of blind Bartimaeus and his encounter with Christ.

GCSE Results 2018

Once again we are delighted for our Year 11 pupils who have worked hard to achieve another fine set of GCSE Results. As a non-selective school, we have a range of abilities, and the pupils have made us proud.

We are also delighted for the teachers who have had to cope with new specifications and, in many subjects, a new grading system. On results day they are often as nervous as the students themselves!

Here are some of the headlines:

• 80% of pupils achieved at least 5 GCSEs at grade C (4) or above.
• 52% of exams taken resulted in A/A* (7-9) grades
• Further Mathematics, English, English Literature, French, Chemistry,              Physics, ICT, and RE all had 100% pass rates (C (4) or above)

Subjects which performed especially well were:

• Chemistry and Physics – 100% pupils achieved A*
• English Language – 80% of pupils achieved A/A* (7-9)
• Maths - 71% of pupils achieved A/A* (7-9)
• Science - 67% of pupils achieved A/A* (7-9)
