Exam Results
Helenswood School celebrates a record breaking year for GCSE results!
Students and staff at Helenswood School will be in celebratory mood this morning as they receive record breaking results. 63% of students have achieved 5A*-C including English and Maths, with 75% of students achieving 5A*-C overall. In particular Jennifer Rozier achieved 8A* and 2A grades; Hannah Wisden achieved 7A* and 2A grades; Annie Verrall achieved 6A* and 3A grades; Ella Brunton achieved 1A*, 8A and 1B grades. Overall 18% of girls achieved A* and A grades.
A key to the girls’ success was the thorough approach to coursework and exam preparation. The focused strategies of support adopted by all staff have reaped rewards; with the use of additional study support, student mentoring and targeted use of data seen as significant tools in raising the standards of attainment across the school. This set of results set a gold standard for future years at Helenswood, and reflects the high aspirations that all Helenswood staff have for their students.
Lucy Monk, Headteacher at Helenswood School said: ‘I am absolutely thrilled at the record breaking set of results at Helenswood this year. They are testament to the hard work and dedication of all staff and students. Parents and carers should be justifiably proud of their daughter’s 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 represent a great improvement on last year’s and are set to ensure that a record number of students from the Hastings and St Leonards remain in education post-16’.
FEDERAL 6TH STUDENTS FROM HELENSWOOD AND WILLIAM PARKER CELEBRATE RECORD A LEVEL RESULTS FOR 2009
Federal 6th students achieved a stunning 94% pass rate at A Level this year. Students will be celebrating their success this morning at the Federal 6th Centre at William Parker Sports College. In particular Laurence Bargery scooped the results required to secure his place at Queen’s College, Cambridge (AAAB); Luke Duggan will be heading off to Bath with AAAB; Kathryn Smith gained ABBB; Charlotte Waiz gained AABC; David Goddin secured AAAA, and will be taking a gap year out before making applications to university; Sasha Giles secured AAB and Jared Burgess has secured his place at King’s College London with AAAB. In total 56 students will be confirming their first choice university places this morning.
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: ‘We are thrilled to see so many young people from Hastings and St Leonards out performing their own and others expectations. We wish them every success as they move onto their next stage in their education.”
