GCSE results 2024

Students and staff at St Anne’s Catholic School & Sixth Form College are celebrating today after another year of fantastic GCSE results.

The Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ school had an impressive 42% of single GCSE awards at a grade 7 or above, with pass grades of 4 or above making up 85% of the results overall.

A grade 4 is equivalent to a former C grade, and is classed as a standard pass with a 5 being a strong pass. A 6 is equivalent to a B, 7 an A and 8 or 9 variations on a former A* marking.

Julian Waterfield, Acting Headteacher, said: “Everyone is absolutely thrilled with the outcome today. Students, staff and parents are just all smiles, it’s been an incredible morning and I hope our young people are feeling as proud of their accomplishments as we are of them.”

Notable subject successes include:

• Grade 4 and above for 80% of students in English Language, 91% of students in English Literature and 83% in Maths.
• A whopping 20.5% of students gaining a grade 9 in Religious Education, with 44.8% gaining at least a grade 7
• 60% of students gaining at least a grade 7 in French, with almost a third of results being at a grade 9, plus a 100% pass rate in community languages.
• 60% of Music students taking home a grade 7 or above
• 50% of Computer Science students achieving a 7 or above.

Some St Anne’s students are celebrating extra hard today thanks to their spectacular achievements!

Mr. Waterfield added: “Super results like this are a group effort, and thanks must go to our dedicated teaching staff who provide such exceptional support and challenge to our students. We are looking forward to seeing the majority of them again tomorrow morning as they come back to enrol for Sixth Form and continue their educational journey!”
