The Magnus Church of England Academy shows encouraging GCSE results this year.
The day that many students have been worrying about for the past couple of weeks has finally arrived, as teenagers across the country tear open the envelopes containing their GCSE results.
Whilst the number of top GCSE grades this year has fallen nationally, we’ve seen some encouraging results locally this morning.
Principal of the Magnus Church of England Academy, Anna Martin, spoke with Matt & Vicky on Radio Newark Breakfast this morning.
“In summary, these are the schools best results in recent years. English results have gone up by 15% (A* - C equivalent), Maths results by 7% and the percentage of students achieving a pass in both English and Maths has gone up by 10%. The schools average grade has gone up by one grade and we believe these headline figures will be at or above national average.”
“In addition we have 6 students who achieved 5 or more A* - A grades, with 4 who achieved all A* - A grades. Almost 30% of students achieved 5 or more A* - B grades with 84% achieving at least 1 A* - B grade.”
“We are delighted with these results as they show what we already know, that Magnus is a rapidly improving school and it is great to see that the hard work is paying off.”
