Burgess Hill Girls are celebrating a stunning set of GCSE results with over half (51%) of all entries graded 9/8 or A* and a massive 74% of all entries graded 9-7 (old grades A*/A), a 10% increase on last year.

August is a nerve-wracking month for Berkshire students with A level and GCSE results days looming. This year especially will be an anxious time for GCSE pupils with over 20 subjects using the 9–1 gradings instead of A*–G, and LVS Ascot Principal Christine Cunniffe is warning that they are set to play a bigger role than before in shaping students’ futures.

Dr Paul Hodges, Head of Sixth Form at independent all-ability school LVS Ascot in Berkshire, issues useful advice to all students heading into those important GCSE and A level exams.

With the school’s aim of providing an inspiring, holistic education for each individual, Leighton Park School’s Deputy Head (Academic), Karen Gracie-Langrick, is delighted to announce three new GCSE options to offer Year 10 students even more choice from September 2018.

Top grades have been awarded to Year 11 girls at St Augustine’s Priory, Ealing Catholic independent day school for girls, in their GCSE results this year with 82% of results being A* – B or equivalent (9 – 6).

Brentwood School students collected their GCSE results today and for many it was a clean sweep of A* grades. No fewer than 17 students received ten or more A*s, (up from 10 last year) and 33 students received all A*s or As, bucking the national trend for top grades.
