LONGSANDS students showed their mettle this year by smashing last years GCSE results.
The number of students achieving 5A* - C, including English and Maths, increased from 62 per cent to 63 percent with the proportion of students achieving 5A* - C in all subjects rising from 75.5 per cent in 2011 to an impressive 85 per cent.
Those pupils attaining 5A* - G rose from 96 per cent last year to 99 percent with 100 per cent of students receiving 1A*-G in all students.
Executive principal, Rob Whatmough, praised the exceptional set of results: “Compared with this point last year the figure for 5A*- C is eight per cent higher and for 5 A*- G over three per cent higher.
“The measure that includes English and Mathematics is already within one per cent of last year’s 64 per cent.
“ This is before any queries are dealt with. It is encouraging as well to have another year where every student obtained at least one GCSE pass.
