Normanhurst School is celebrating some outstanding individual achievements in the GCSE examinations. The school bucked the national trend, seeing an increase in the percentage of pupils achieving the top A*/A grades. Outstanding performers from the year group include Julian with 10 A*/A grades; Emily and Rehaan with 8 A*/A grades and Osian and Taylor with 7 A*/A grades.
Normanhurst continues to build on its excellent achievements in the creative arts with 77% of all grades awarded A*/A in Fine Art and Graphic Design, and results in every subject saw an increase in the number of top grades awarded.
Headmistress Claire Osborn said: “Many students this year have risen to the challenge of achieving good GCSE grades, particularly with the increase in difficulty of GCSEs over the past few years. It is a just reward for their hard work, together with the hard work of their teachers. We are particularly pleased that results in all subjects show an increase in the number of A*/A grades awarded and over 70% of GCSE students achieved at least a grade C English and similar in Maths. I am pleased that these results give so many students what they need to proceed to the next stage in their education.”
“We are looking forward to seeing how they will build on the successes they have gained so far.”
