NORLINGTON SCHOOL and 6TH FORM
n Wisdom is strength
n Exam Special 2018
Time to celebrate: Norlington students had good reason to be pleased as they opened their results at the school in August
Students make history with best-ever results THE school celebrated a record-breaking year for exam results as our students exceeded expectation to score top grades. At GCSE, we celebrated our best results in the school’s history despite having to contend with a new tougher numerical grading system. More than one third of all grades were at the top 7 to 9 levels, or A to A* under the old system. Some 30 per cent of students received five or more level 7 to 9 grades, while two thirds achieved a level 5 or higher in both maths
and English. Early analysis indicates pupils made significantly more progress in every single subject than is expected under national guidelines. Meanwhile at A-Level, our sixth form continued to build on last year’s success by registering even stronger results this year. All students who sat A-Levels have either been awarded an apprenticeship or gained a place at university, with many heading to prestigious institutions. Our Principal Mr Hernandez said: “We are
very proud of the results our students have achieved. Their commitment and hard work has paid off. “At GCSE, more than a third of all grades were at level 7 to 9 or A to A* and over a third of students achieved at least a grade above expected across all GCSEs. “These results build on several years of outstanding outcomes.” “We are also very proud of all our sixth form students as they take their next step in their lives.”
