There have been some outstanding GCSE results at the Royal Hospital School, Holbrook, this year with 100% pass rate and one third of the year group achieving at least six A*/A grades. Over 95 pupils have qualified to go on to the sixth form at the School with 90% gaining a minimum of 5 A*to C grades including Maths and English and the number of pupils gaining A*s, As and B grades is up substantially.
Headmaster, James Lockwood, said, “I am absolutely delighted with the number of pupils for whom sheer hard work and commitment has paid off and with the wide range of abilities accepted into the School it reflects how well we are able to realise the individual potential of every pupil.”
“This year’s A*/A pass rate is 40% and there has been an increase on the number of top A* grades awarded to RHS pupils compared to last year which, in the current environment of grade deflation, represents a significant achievement. I am particularly pleased with the results gained in the separate sciences with 70% of all Chemistry, Biology and Physics papers gaining an A* or A grade. The support and guidance given by our dedicated teaching staff has contributed to these successes“.
The achievements of the following pupils must be highly commended as each of them secured outstanding results:
- Guy Cranfield 11 A* s
- Sophie Atkinson 10 A*s
- Rose Arbuthnot 9 A*s and 1 A
- Sammi Chiu 9 A*s and 1A plus a top grade in Additional Maths
- Lexine Lee 8A*s and 2 As
