Students continue their success with strong GSCE Results
Congratulations to the class of 2022 at Abbeywood Community School who have achieved strong GCSE results, with grades 7-9 across a wide range of subjects, as well as many grade 5-9 grades in English and Maths. An impressive 63% of students achieved 5-9 in English, which is above the national average, while 50% of students achieved 5-9 in Maths.
Following the last two years where teacher assessed grades have been used, these formal examination results reflect the strength in teaching and student attitudes at Abbeywood. Headline figures this year continue an upward trajectory, following on from a successful set of 2022 A Level and BTEC results last week.
Amongst the many success stories, Grace Hooper achieved grade 9 in English Language, Literature, Geography, Combined Science and Religious Studies – the highest results possible in these subjects. Michael Preece attained grade 9 in Maths, Further Maths and Combined Science.
Headteacher Benjamin Dilley commented: “Congratulations to our 2022 Year 11 students in achieving some fantastic results. I am extremely proud of their resilience, hard work and the manner in which they have demanded the very best from themselves. It has been an incredibly difficult last couple of years, none more so than for the students in exam year groups, with the changes we have all had to make to learning, through the pandemic. The excellent results are the product of hard work from all our students, staff and parents who have worked together to ensure our young people had the best chance to succeed. We look forward to welcoming our highly talented students back to our Sixth Form in September.”
