Students at The Market Weighton School are celebrating some excellent grades despite the challenges of the past three years leading up to this summer’s exams.  Despite the toughening up on the grade boundaries this year several students were celebrating with the top grades.   

Mr Harrison, Headteacher said ‘Overall our grades mirrored the national picture with a return to 2019 grading meaning fewer top grades but within that we have had many individual success stories such as Leo who with the dedicated support of our staff has managed to achieve grade 7 in maths and computing and a grade 5 in further maths.  Leo was part or our enhanced provision cohort and has struggled with learning in large groups but will be going on to study A levels in maths, further maths and computing at York College. 

“All our students have individual successes and will progress to a wide range of sixth form Colleges, FE Colleges and apprentice providers.  I would like to thank all our staff for their herd work in supporting these students through a challenging time in school and wish them all the very best for the future.”

Beverley High School are also very proud of their pupils who have performed exceptionally well in their GCSEs this year which reflect the hard work, motivation and commitment of the students and teachers with the support of parents.

Bridlington School is celebrating the achievements of its Year 11 students, who have demonstrated resilience, determination, and excellence in their GCSE results this summer.

Kate Parker-Randall said "We are very proud of our students' achievements this year. Despite facing numerous challenges, many of our students achieved remarkable individual successes. Among them a student who earned two Grade 9s and seven Grade 8s, having already completed their GCSE Latin independently in Year 10 with a Grade 9, an inspiring example of their tenacity and academic excellence.

With guidance from Mrs Driver, our careers advisor, and the wider pastoral and careers teams, every student has secured a place for their next step—whether continuing in our thriving Sixth Form, moving on to college, apprenticeships, or joining the armed forces.”

Pupils and staff at Longcroft School and Sixth Form College in Beverley are celebrating strong GCSE examination results, significantly above national comparisons across the board. This includes two pupils set to be presented with special letters of commendation after not only achieving the coveted grade 9 in 10 different subjects, but doing so with scores that placed them amongst the very highest performers in the country.

Following his extraordinary achievement, Sam said, “I can’t believe my results. The progress I have made since the start of year 10 is amazing. I am so grateful to my teachers for inspiring me and helping me to achieve the grades I have.”

David Perry, Headteacher of Longcroft School and Sixth Form, says, “We are so proud of all our pupils who today have seen their hard work and determination pay off. We know many will progress into our sixth form college, which celebrated great outcomes last week, while others will be exploring a range of wider options across the region. We wish them all every success. We must not underestimate how challenging the secondary educational experience has been for these young people, nor the significant shadow cast by the Covid pandemic. They have shown tremendous courage, character and fortitude.“
