138 GCSE candidates celebrate record results
94% of grades were at A*/A, with over 73% of those being A*. Well over half the year group (89 pupils) achieved a string of 8 or more A*s, and over three quarters of the year group achieved at least 5A*s. In key subjects such as Mathematics pupils achieved 113 A*s (82% of the year group) and in English and English Literature over pupils 100 achieved A*s. 84% of pupils who took three Separate Sciences achieved A.
Head David Goodhew says: "In September, during my first assembly at Latymer, I challenged Year 11 to improve on last year's record GCSE results, and my goodness they have risen to the challenge! Three quarters of grades are A*, and over a quarter of the year have achieved at least 10 A* grades, setting a new record. I am thrilled for the pupils and their parents, who are quite rightly delighted. Their hard work and talent, combined with inspirational and dedicated teaching, have been the perfect recipe for success. I am especially pleased that they have achieved such academic excellence without sacrificing their participation and enjoyment in sport, music and drama." The girls at Godolphin and Latymer School
also have reasons to celebrate, with an outstanding 67% of all exams taken awarded an A* grade (compared with 62% last year), and three quarters of the girls achieved A*/A grades in all their subjects. August 27, 2013 |
