Many congratulations to our Year 11 students on their excellent GCSE results today! We are delighted with this year's results, with 31% achieving the very top grades of 9-8, 53% achieving between 9-7 and 71% between 9-6. These are a very strong set of GCSE results, particularly given that Ampleforth does not select students simply on academic ability but provides an all-round education which equips students for every aspect of life. We are proud of the range of academic ability here and stretch all our students to achieve their very best. These GCSE results are also evidence that our students have achieved considerably higher grades than predicted in their baseline data when they first arrived at Ampleforth. This achievement speaks to the hard work and dedication of our students - and their teachers. The results are promising for continued academic progress and achievement in the Sixth Form where we be joined by a large intake of new students from across the country.
Headmaster, Jon Mutton, said:
Our GCSE students should be very pleased with their results. This is the best set of top grades, both between 9-8 and 9-7, that we have achieved for a while. Even more impressive is how much higher our students have achieved than the standardised scoring system had predicted they would. This demonstrates that Ampleforth adds very significant academic value thanks to our outstanding teachers who adapt their style and techniques to suit each and every student in their classrooms. These results are a great foundation for our students in their Sixth Form courses and we look forward to seeing them continue to improve academically and contribute in all other areas of school life.
