A READING independent school is delighted by the GCSE results its Year 11 students have achieved this morning.
St Joseph’s College is celebrating the efforts and hard work of students on results day, with 30% of entries gaining grades 9-8, 49% 9-7 and 89% of entries achieving grades 9-5.
Year 10 students who sit their GCSE Religious Education a year early also did exceptionally well, says the school, with 75% of them achieving a Grade 9-6.
In Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, History, Latin, Maths and Further Maths 60% or more of pupils attained grades 9 – 7, and in Music, 90% scored
9-7.
This, says headteacher Laura Stotesbury, is a wonderful achievement for Mrs Kese, retiring head of music and director of the arts after 43 years of dedicated service to the College.
Mrs Stotesury said: “Our students should be extremely proud of their achievements today, which are testament to all the hard work that they have put in over the past two years, alongside considerable contributions to our co-curriculum in Music, Drama, Sport, Model United Nations and STEM subjects.
“I look forward to welcoming them back to St Joseph’s Sixth Form next month as they begin their A Level studies.
“Our strong pastoral care and knowledge of each individual pupil means that we have been able to tailor support for each child – some who have faced significant personal challenge over the course of the past two years.
“I would like to thank our impressive staff for their hard work to keep our young people at the centre of all that we do.
“At St Joseph’s College we all aim to we provide the best possible education for
our all our pupils and the best value for money for our parents.”
