GCSE examination results
Students at Abbeywood Community School have once again performed strongly in a range of subjects, making good progress and with some outstanding individual successes.
Students performed well in English, with 78 percent achieving at least a ‘standard’ pass (equivalent to the old C grade), while 60 percent achieved the same level in maths.
Fifty-four percent of students achieved at least ‘standard’ passes in both English and maths.
Ben Dilley, deputy headteacher, commented:
“I am delighted with the success of so many of our brilliant students, who have worked so hard over the last five years and deserve their success. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate their results that will enable them to continue their education at our Post-16 Centre, other colleges or pursue apprenticeships.”
