PUPILS of Chellaston Academy are celebrating another highly successful year of A Level and GCSE results. Head teacher Mr Ray Ruszczynski was delighted with the overall results and proud of the pupils’ achievements. “Eighty per cent of students have achieved five or more GCSE passes including maths and English; of 3181 exams taken by students a third were passes at either grade A* or A; and we have bucked the national trend in science, maths and English” he said. At A level it is a similarly excellent story. 34 per cent of all grades were either A* or A; the average point score at A Level was a B and the average point score per pupil was the equivalent of 3 B grade passes. In the biggest ever year group for both years 11 and 13, the school has continued to do well in the traditionally academic subjects, including maths, English and science and Mr Ruszczynski said:

“We compare favourably to any school in the country. We continue year on year to provide strong results.” And they are the top results in the Derby city area. He puts the success of the school down to the relationships the staff build with the students, supportive parents and pure hard work from the children. His mantra is “If you work hard, and behave, you get what you deserve.” Head of 6th form Mr P Clarke was equally delighted with the results – and said that the relationships formed with the students was one of the biggest factors in their success. “We work hard to nurture and encourage students to achieve what they are capable of,” he said. He was pleased that the results at A level were slightly higher than last year, and that the students had for the most part achieved what they needed for further studies – with only three out of the 210 pupils having to go into the clearing process.
