A number of our students will be studying at various local colleges including: Art and Design Foundation course at Oaklands College. In addition to this, some students have opted not to apply to University but in the light of their results have sufficient points to go through the Clearing process if they so wish. Students who completed a vocational course in either Dance and Performing Arts or Sport Studies all achieved Double Distinctions. Students who studied Mathematics and Further Mathematics, English Literature, History, the Sciences, Art – Fine Art, 3D and Photography, Dance, Drama, Psychology, Sociology and Sports Studies did particularly well. The Year 12 results are also very encouraging and there is much to celebrate here too. We have a number of students who have gained top grades: Jack Dann, Jennifer Hill, Laurence Pearce and Ashley Sharman. These students will have a good platform on which to build. We expect great things of them in the coming academic year. We congratulate all our students for their efforts and results and do not forget their teachers who are always around to support and encourage. Headline Figures (provisional) Year 13 students. 29 students in Year 13 Average point score per A level was 638 Average point score per candidate 185 77% of the Year group have applied for University with the vast majority of them being successful in their first choice. Head teacher Nick Binder said: “Many students will be inspired by Alex Harris’ outstanding results which have secured his place at the University of Cambridge to read Medicine. Students at The Sele will be celebrating fantastic results this summer. The vast majority have achieved ‘Personal bests’ by meeting or exceeding their ambitious targets that were set for them two years ago. Many of them have been thanking their teachers for their motivation and support which helped them to achieve these excellent results. I agree, students, parents and teachers have worked tremendously well together and should feel very proud of these students’ achievements.” The Sele School’s GCSE Results Summer 2014 Our Best GCSE Results Ever! Students, staff and parents at The Sele School have much to celebrate. The students of 2014 have achieved the best results ever in the 50 year history of the school. There are seventy-seven students in the year and 65% of them have gained 5 or more A* - C grades including English and maths. This is a full 10% more than was achieved last year, despite recent changes to GCSE examinations which make them more difficult. The English Faculty had 74% of the year gaining A*-C grades in English Language, just over 70% of the students in Mathematics gained an A*-C grade and 84% of students attained 2 or more A*-C GCSE passes in Science. We are proud that 97% of the year group gained 5 or more GCSEs A*- G, 68% gained 5+ A*-C and 100% gained at least one qualification. This reflects the school’s inclusive approach- we expect everyone to succeed. The results are either in line with or exceed our targets. Outstanding results were achieved in:- English, English Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Food Technology, Product Design, Drama, Child Development, Construction, History, Statistics, BTEC Science and BTEC PE. Our brightest students did particularly well with some attaining all A* and A grades. Several successfully sat an AS module in Science and the top group added to their GCSE Maths an additional GCSE in Statistics. The following students excelled; gaining a large number of starred A*s and As: Caroline Nicholls, Bryn Goodman, Will Edwards, Matt Baugh, Adam Rumble, Lewis Gregory, Carmelo Viviani and Katie Reagan. We would like to congratulate all those students who have worked hard to gain these results and the staff who have worked tirelessly to support them in their learning. They have done this in a context of continuous tinkering with the exam system and prolonged undermining of both teachers and the qualification system.
