GCSE results 2022

Wade Deacon students celebrate record-breaking results

 

Year 11 students at Wade Deacon High School have plenty to celebrate following as they received their GCSE results. For the first time since 2019, students sat formal GCSE examinations in the summer term and have waited with anticipation for their hard work to be rewarded.

It has been worth the wait!

Wade Deacon has achieved its strongest results yet, with 66% students achieving the ‘gold standard’ Grade 5 pass in both English and Maths, 81% achieving Grade 4 or above and 21% students achieved a Grade 7 or higher in both of these subjects setting them firmly on track to access their Post-16 education places of choice.

Across all subjects, three-quarters of entries were awarded a Grade 5 or higher, and 1 in 3 entries scored a Grade 7 or above. Attainment in all subjects was exceptionally strong and remains well above national averages, continuing the school’s track record of achieving at the highest level across the curriculum.

The average grade achieved by students across all of their exams was a Grade 5, with a number of students demonstrating exceptional achievement with 149 top-level Grade 9s achieved in all. 22 students achieved a full set of results at Grade 7 to 9.

Staff and students are celebrating the achievements of all students as well as a number of other notable individual success stories which saw students overcome personal challenges and difficult circumstances to achieve remarkable progress overall.

Principal Simon Corner said,

“I am delighted with this years’ GCSE results and how successful our students have been. Despite the obvious challenges, our students have achieved exceptionally well across the full spectrum of our curriculum and I am very proud of them all. They have shown real determination, resilience and maturity to achieve so well; they are a true credit to our school community and their families. I am also delighted for all of our teachers and support staff who have worked tirelessly to encourage, nurture and support our class of 2022; they really have gone above and beyond to do their upmost for our young people.”
