Prior Park College – Another year of outstanding GCSE results

25 Aug 2016

Prior Park College is thrilled to be celebrating another year of outstanding GCSE success hot on the heels of impressive A Level results. Prior Park students achieved a remarkable 26% of grades at coveted A*, bucking the national trend, testament to the industry and dedication of pupils at the College as they strive achieve and indeed exceed their goals and ambitions.

100% of Prior Park students pupils met the standard of five plus GCSE grades at C or above, including English and Maths, and around 70% of grades awarded to our students were at the highest A*/A grade: outstanding results by any comparative measure.

Most notably, we warmly congratulate our six students who achieved at least ten A* grades. These top performers were Edmund Mortimer, Grace Fry and Rhiannon Harris who each secured no less than 11 passes or better at A* grade. Twins Henry and Rupert Carr each recorded 10 passes at A* grade, matched also grade for grade by Felix Robertson.

Headmaster, Mr James Murphy-O’Connor comments “With almost 25% of pupils securing at least 5 passes at A*, Prior Park is once again celebrating an outstanding year. Our entire school community is immensely proud to see our boys and girls do so well and, even more importantly, achieve the potential that we see in each of them. As the educational climate continues to shift beneath our feet, GCSE grades will take on even greater significance in years to come. It is reassuring that our students have put themselves in prime position for future academic success and recognition. Well done indeed to all of them”.
