Crosfields School, in Reading, Berkshire, are thrilled with their first set of GCSE results. 48 pupils who are our pioneers worked incredibly hard in forging a path and acting as role models for future year groups.
We are delighted to announce that 91% of Crosfields GCSE entries were awarded grades 4-9, significantly above the national average of 67%. Impressively, 45% of these grades were awarded at the top levels of 7-9, compared to the national average of 21%. Notable highlights include: 82% of Computer Science, 71% of Biology, 64% of History and 60% of Higher Maths grades were awarded a 7, 8 or 9. Additionally, 100% of the Additional Mathematics entries were awarded the top grade of an A.
Mrs Caroline Townshend, Head, said: “Crosfields’ first set of GCSE results marks a special moment in the history of the School and its development. The expansion from a 13+ prep school to a 16+ all through school has been a huge success and the individual stories of each of our Year 11 pupils are incredibly special.”
“I am so proud to lead such a wonderful community which continues to place equal importance on academic results, breadth of education and character development. Well done to each of our pioneers, all of whom have an exciting future ahead!”
Nine pupils from this group have grown up within our school community, having started their journey in our Nursery or Reception at just three or four years old. Watching the development of their educational voyage has been extraordinarily inspiring. Mr Richard Ebbage, Deputy Head Academic (Seniors), said: “It is special to take a year group through their GCSEs. Some have been at Crosfields since they were three years old and signing off their educational journey with us with these fantastic results feels like a fitting end to their time here. All leave us with a clear sense of who they are and have exciting, individualised, next steps to look forward to. Well done, Year 11!”
