GCSE Results 2018
Posted on: 23/08/2018Barton Court Grammar School is delighted with another set of excellent GCSE results this year. This year virtually all subjects were graded on the new tougher 1-9 scale, with nearly all subjects being assessed by exam only but this hasn’t stopped Barton Court students excelling.
42% of grades were awarded 7+ (A*/A) whilst one in every five grades were either an 8 or 9 or an A* - this represents outstanding achievement.
Mr Ian Macaulay, Headteacher commented “I am really delighted for all our students who have worked so hard to achieve these outstanding results in what has been a very tough exam season. Students this year had to cope with demands of new tougher GCSEs in virtually all subjects. Despite this, they have excelled and should be justly proud. It was fantastic to see so many pleased and excited young faces collect their results this morning, we look forward to welcoming the majority of them back to Barton Court in September for another 2 years of successful study in our Sixth form.”
The school is delighted with some notable achievements for individual students with 33 students (23%) achieving an amazing 8 or more straight A*/A/ 7+ grades whilst over 58% of students achieved 3 or more A*/A/7+ passes. There are too many students to mention individually!
The School would like to thank all staff for their hard work and all parents and Governors for their continued support without which such excellent results and student achievement would not be possible.
