This is hot on the heels of impressive post-16 results last week (see below). 56% of students gained 5 GCSEs including English and Maths at Grade 4 and above (the equivalent to 5 A*-C). 43% of students gained the same at Grade 5 and above, which is a significant improvement on last year and likely to be well above the national average. Headteacher Steve Gordon said: “We are extremely proud of our GCSE students and thrilled that these excellent results reflect the high level of dedication they have shown to their studies. “Staff and students have risen to the challenges posed by the new numerical GCSE system which applies for the first time this year in most subjects. Their response to the requirements introduced by the new grading system has been outstanding. As a result, there has been a significant rise in the school’s provisional Progress 8 score. Students have had bespoke revision programmes tailored to their needs to ensure they entered their exams feeling calm, confident and well prepared.” He added: “Here at Huxlow we focus on developing the whole child and as well as celebrating academic achievement. We are confident that all of our Year 11s are prepared to go on and do well in the adult world.” Huxlow’s highest achieving student was Trinity Gough who gained 7 Grade 9’s, a Grade 8 and a Distinction. She now looks forward to starting Sixth Form at Huxlow in September, studying Maths, Biology, English Literature and French to lead her into a career in Languages. Mark Curtis-Rose is also celebrating after gaining top marks across the board including the maximum Grade 9 in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science, as well as Grade 8 in Maths and Grade A in Additional Maths. The Science subjects, Huxlow’s specialism, continue to perform at an outstanding level; the percentage of students achieving Grade 4 (equivalent to C) or higher were 84% in Chemistry, 80% in Physics and 71% in Biology. In addition, the number of students achieving the maximum Grade 9 (higher than A*) were 9 in Chemistry, 10 in Physics and 6 in Biology.
