Students at Bishop Heber High School are celebrating their outstanding GCSE results. With an overall pass rate of well over 99% and over three quarters of all results graded A*-C, together with nearly a third of all results at Grades A and A*, students have been rewarded for their hard work and commitment during the year.
Once again significant numbers of students (26 in all) have achieved the top A and A* grades in at least 8 subjects, including Alexandra Black (Whitchurch); Terri Houston (Ightfield); Robin Trigg (Whitchurch); Joanna Bilcliffe (Cuddington); Adam Davies (Farndon); Emma Dimelow (Chorlton); Mary-Jane Dodd (Tattenhall); Emma Ewins (Shocklach); Alex Hunter (Tilston); Daniel Tweedie (Rossett); Lauren Wilson (Tattenhall); Tom Young (Tilston); Jack Chandler (Malpas); Helen Duley (Threapwood); Jack Featherstone (Tattenhall); Ellie Mitchell (Churton) and Alex Morgan (Higher Wych) who all gained 10 or more A/A* grades.
The results in English Literature, Maths, Sciences, RE, Design and Technology, History, Art, Geography and Business Studies are all considerably above national expectations. Students from across the ability range have achieved results that are a credit to them and demonstrate superb progress. In many cases they have exceeded their predicted grades. In addition to their GCSE successes, Year 11 students also made valuable contributions to the school and wider community in many ways, including raising money for charity and as sports leaders.
Delighted Headteacher, David Curry, said that students should be “justifiably proud of their fantastic results”. He added, “my warmest congratulations to all our students who with the tireless support of their teachers and families have worked extremely hard. This has been another very good year for GCSEs at Heber. We are all delighted with the overall pass rates and these results highlight the excellent learning and teaching that takes place here year after year. We are looking forward to welcoming students into the Sixth Form when term starts for them on Wednesday 2nd September and with these results, can be confident they will go on to emulate the A and AS Level successes we celebrated with our Sixth Form students last week.”
