St Augustine’s is delighted to see a 46% increase in the number of students achieving Grade 8 and 9 in a range of different subjects this year.  Year 11 students have also performed well in securing both English and Maths grades, with students achieving more grade 9-4’s in both subjects compared with last academic year.

Nearly 89% of Year 11 students achieved a Grade 9-4 in GCSE Biology, with more than 80% also achieving a Grade 9-5 in GCSE Chemistry and 85% in GCSE Physics. 80% of students achieved a Grade 9-4 in English Language, 82% in GCSE Graphics, 77% in Psychology and 75% in GCSE Maths.

“We are incredibly proud of our students’ achievements. These results reflect their hard work, resilience, and determination, as well as the unwavering support from our dedicated staff and parents. The challenges posed by the past year have been significant, but our students have shown remarkable perseverance, and today’s results are a testament to their commitment and effort.” Ms Rachel Kelly, Head of High School
