Students congratulated by staff at Harrogate Grammar for 'fantastic' GCSEs

Students at Harrogate Grammar School have been congratulated by proud staff after collecting their 'fantastic' GCSE results.

The school saw consistent and in some cases improved performances on last year's results in English and Maths, with 85 per cent of students securing grades 9 to 4 in both subjects.

A third of all grades in the reformed subjects were at grades 7, 8 or 9, with students in triple sciences, RS, PE, Spanish and history achieving between 14 and 19 per cent of grades at the top level 9.

"With the introduction of new, more challenging, linear courses and a new grading system in the majority of subjects, there has been a lot to contend with for students, teachers and parents.

"Our students have yet again risen to the challenge and have performed very well indeed.

"These fantastic results are a reflection of the hard work and resilience of our students and our dedicated team of teachers and support staff, who together, really do strive to achieve the school’s ambition of excellence for all.

"We also fully appreciate and recognise the support that parents have provided during their children’s time with us; it is this partnership between home and school, which continues to be the foundation for our success."
