Exam Results
Helenswood celebrates yet another year of fantastic GCSE Results!
Students at Helenswood School celebrated this morning as they received another set of excellent GCSE results. 60% of students have achieved 5A*-C including English and Maths, with 71% of students achieving 5A*-C overall. 100% of Helenswood girls will leave achieving at least one GCSE pass.
The continuing success of Helenswood girls in achieving the national benchmark of five good GCSE grades including English and Maths sets the school apart. A focus on traditional academic GCSE courses ensures that students are equipped to deal with the 21st century workplace, with a firm grounding in the basics of literacy and numeracy. Students are now looking forward to taking up offers of places in the Federal 6th or local colleges, and will be in a strong position to continue their education at university.
Lucy Monk, Headteacher at Helenswood School said: ‘I am absolutely thrilled with yet another wonderful set of results from Helenswood students. They are testament to the hard work and dedication of all staff and students. Parents and carers should be justifiably proud of their daughters’ achievements, and we look forward to continuing to support many of the girls as they progress into AS and A2 study in the Federal 6th. These results are set to ensure that a record number of students from the Hastings and St Leonards remain in education post-16’.
‘We are very pleased about the high proportion of top grades: overall 41% of girls achieved A* and A grades. In particular Mika Burgess achieved 5A* and 4A grades; Farihah Islam achieved 5A* and 3A grades; Leah Humprhies achieved 4A* and 3A grades; and Ashleigh Begg achieved 3A*, 3A and 2 BTEC distinction grades.’
FEDERAL 6TH STUDENTS FROM HELENSWOOD AND WILLIAM PARKER SPORTS COLLEGE CELEBRATE RECORD A LEVEL RESULTS FOR 2010
Students from the Federal 6th will be celebrating this week with a 99% A Level pass rate, with 5% of student celebrating achieving the sought after A* grade. This is the best ever outcome for students and a phenomenal achievement. It is testament to the collaboration between students, teachers and the pastoral support team that this year will see students beating off the increased competition in the race for top university places.
Elizabeth Read will be awaiting confirmation of her place at Cambridge to read Natural Sciences with her A* and another four A grades besides! Her success is shared by five other students all of whom achieved straight A* and A grades: Andrew Bunt, Catherine Jeffries, Greg Page, Jessica Potts and James Green. More than 100 Federal 6th students will be looking forward to heading off to their first choice universities. Students have demonstrated excellent progress, particularly those aspiring to the most competitive universities and therefore the highest grades.
The Federal 6th offers students from all local schools a centre for A Level excellence: from the Extended Project with 60% of students achieving A* and A grades; to 55% of all students studying A Level Graphics recording an A* or A grade; 23% of all students studying Art A Level achieving A*; 66% of all A Level Dance students achieving top grades; 25% of PE students achieving an A*; and 100% of BTEC Children Care and Development students achieving distinction – the equivalent of A grades.
A key to their success was the thorough approach to coursework and exam preparation in Year 13. The excellent attitude and efforts of the students was underpinned by the hard work and focused dedication of their teachers and support staff. These results represent a great improvement on last year’s results and are set to ensure that a record number of students from the Hastings and St Leonards area head on towards university life.
Lucy Monk (Headteacher at Helenswood School) and John Court (Headteacher at William Parker Sports College) congratulated students as they received their results this morning: ‘The class of 2010 have demonstrated that a sharp focus on excellence has reaped rewards for all. Congratulations are due to each and every student for their wonderful outcomes and we wish them every success as they move into their next phase of education!”
