LITTLE Heath School has congratulated its GCSE students as they join those around the country collecting their results today, Thursday, August 22.
The school has reported that two-thirds of students achieved at least a Grade 4 (equivalent to a C grade) in English and Mathematics, and two in five students achieved a Grade 5 in both subjects.
In Business Studies, one in three grades given was a Grade 7 or above, one in four in History, 28% in Computer Science, and 23% in both Geography and Religious Education.
A number of students received particularly outstanding results, including Emma B, who achieved eight Grade 9s, two Grade 8s, and a Grade 7.
Abigail L received five Grade 9s and five Grade 8s, while Sophie L achieved five Grade 9s, four Grade 8s, and a Grade 7.
The school also commended Ethan S, Havin B, Nikil B, Harry S, Thomas L, Aurora N, Iyaad B, and Oliver L for making significant progress from their Key Stage 2 starting points.
Headteacher David Ramsden said: “I am incredibly proud of the achievements of the Class of 2024.
“This year group has shown remarkable dedication and a strong sense of community, consistently supporting each other over the past five years.
“Their collaborative spirit and ambitious outlook have been truly inspiring. ”
He explained: “While they have faced significant challenges since starting secondary school in 2019, including the unique difficulties of remote learning and disrupted education, it is their unity and resilience that stand out.
“Many students have excelled individually, but what shines most is the way they’ve lifted each other up along the way.
We are excited to see how their hard work and determination will shape their futures, and we’re thrilled that so many will continue their journey with us in our excellent sixth form.
“Today’s results are a testament to the character, hard work, and determination of this exceptional group of students.”
