WITH two thirds of them achieving A*-B grades at A Level, pupils at a school in Earley are celebrating today.
Maiden Erlegh School students’ grades are significantly higher overall than in pre-covid 2019.
Paul Gibson, Headteacher said:
“This year group have been through so much.
“To achieve what they have is nothing short of remarkable.
Results are significantly up on all previous measures including the Teacher Assessed Grades in 2021.
With a 99% pass rate, there is much for them all to celebrate.
More than a third of pupils, (36%) achieved an A or A* grade, and an impressive 85% gained a C grade or above.
Mr Gibson continued:
“It is a true testament to the students’ resilience, dedication, and focus.
“I am proud of each one of them and I know they will go on to wonderful careers and flourish, based on the character they have shown.”
There were big smiles for Sean B and George C, both of whom gained 4 A*s; Zainab A and Cameron C who achieved 3 A*s; and Kieran M’s 3 A*s and 1 A.
Ann Cheshire, Head of Sixth Form said:
“Our students’ results today are richly deserved.
“They were an exceptional year group who faced unprecedented challenges.
“I wish all of them every luck for the future.
“I am absolutely delighted for them and their parents.”
Many students will be taking exciting next steps, some going on to Oxbridge, Russell Group Universities, some taking on apprenticeships, and others exploring gap year opportunities.
“There are many success stories,” said Mr Gibson.
“Too many to individually mention, such as students who have lost close family relatives and gone on to gain outstanding results.
“Today, I have been celebrating with them all.”
“Class of 2022, it has been a privilege to call you Maiden Erlegh students – we wish you all the best!”
