2009 GCSE Results

We are delighted with the achievements of our pupils in this year’s GCSE examinations.  They are testament both to the hard work and focus of the pupils themselves and to the high quality teaching and dedicated support of the staff here at Priory.

 

The results themselves are all the more impressive given that we do not select our pupils on academic ability alone, but look at the full range of a child’s gifts and talents.

 

The highlights of the results are as follows:

 

Out of a cohort of 16 students

 

15 students achieved A*-C in five or more subjects – 94%

11 students achieved A*-C in five or more subjects, including English and Maths – 69%

6 students achieved A*-A in five or more subjects – 40%

4 students achieved 9 A*-A - 25%

42% of all grades were A*-A

Within individual subject areas there were also some outstanding performances:

 

100% pass rate in all subjects

Twelve subjects achieved a 100% A*-C pass rate

Geography achieved a 100% A* pass rate

Physics and Biology achieved a 100% A*-A pass rate

History, Spanish, Chemistry and Drama achieved a 100% A*-B pass rate

Congratulations to all our pupils on their individual achievements!

 

Just how well we serve our pupils  

Pupils entering Year 7 undergo tests ( National Cognitive Ability Tests) which then produce predicted grades in the core GCSE subjects.  A comparison can then be made in Year 11 between the grades predicted on pupils cognitive ability when they entered the school and their actual results.  Pupils at Priory School regularly outperform their predicted results.

A full breakdown of the results in public examinations is available from the school upon request.
