Happy faces on GCSE Results Day
At Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy we are incredibly proud of this cohort of Year 11 pupils who have achieved very well at GCSE this year, especially in the context of the challenges this cohort has faced.
Over 250 students received their GCSE results this morning, with over 20 per cent achieving top marks of Grade 7 or above, an increase from previous years, and over 80% achieving a pass equivalent of Grade 4 or above.
For some students, they were able to achieve a raft of excellent results. Anna Thwaytes secured top success, receiving Grade 9 results in all nine subjects she took, while her fellow students Nell Williams achieved eight Grade 9 results and one Grade 7. Zofia Kowalska, Giselle Tang, Boaz Hughes, Daniel McKimmie, Isabel Stanton and Joshua Ellis also received six Grade 9s amongst their results.
“They approached their exams with great determination after a disrupted couple of years and their hard work has paid off. Many have faced personal challenges and we are particularly proud of how well they have done and the resilience they have shown. I would also like to thank our staff at Ripley and our parents for guiding and supporting our young people so well. We send our congratulations to all our Year 11s and we wish them every success in their next steps.”
Mrs Walmsley, Principal.
