Congratulations to our students on their GCSE results. The results reflect the hard work of students and staff and it was lovely to see so many smiling faces on results day from both proud parents and students.
We are delighted
to welcome so many of year 11 students as well as students from many other
schools into our large, recently refurbished and student-centred sixth form
where they can pursue both A-level and vocational courses and move on to the
challenge of the next stage of their education as part of the unique St Peter’s
family.
There were some
excellent individual results, including from the following whose results were
all grade 7 and above (equivalent to the old A/A*):
Ronan (pictured below) achieved 7 grade
9s, 1 grade 8, and 1 grade 7.
Grace (also pictured) achieved 4 grade 9s, 3 grade 8s and 2 grade 7s.
Anjola achieved 6
grade 9s and 2 grade 8s.
Ciara achieved 3 grade 9s, a Distinction* in vocational sports studies, and 4 grade 8s.
Many other
students achieved grades which were above or in line with their targets.
Congratulations to our students and thank you to all the
staff, both teaching and support, who worked so hard to prepare our students for
challenging examinations in a wide range of subjects. Students of all abilities
across a broad curriculum have done well and we are particularly pleased with
the improvement in maths results since 2019 as well as the improvement in the
progress of disadvantaged pupils.
The GCSE results
follow on from an excellent set of A-level results last week with students
going on to a brilliant range of destinations including Russell Group
universities such as Cambridge, and exciting higher level apprenticeships.
This year 11
cohort has been impacted greatly by the pandemic, remote learning and periods
of self-isolation. We have relied heavily on our mission statement and our core
ROCK values of respect, optimism, community and kindness to guide us through a
uniquely challenging period and our students have done us proud. We would like
to take this opportunity to thank the families in our community and also our
Governors for their tremendous support.
