Students at Roding Valley High School were celebrating following a record set of GCSE Results for the school. 83% of all Year 11 students achieved 5A*-C with 64% achieving 5A*-C including English and Maths. 93% of all students also achieved 2 or more GCSEs in Science. These results are significantly above the national average and, coupled with the school’s excellent OFSTED inspection in March this year, represent another notable achievement for everyone involved with the school. The number of students achieving A* and A grades also increased for the 4th consecutive year.
There were some outstanding individual performances: Fraser Barclay and Jonathan Schroder achieved 11 GCSEs at A*/A. Chloe Isteed, Ross Dowsett, Jack Maginn and Trishan Mandalia achieved 10 GCSEs at A*/A with Lauren Marbe and Paige Tracey achieving 9 GCSEs at A*/A. Headteacher, Paul Banks, was delighted with the outcome of this year’s GCSEs: ‘In a national context where GCSE results are going down overall, it is very pleasing to note that our students, once again, are bucking this trend. These results are the best
the school has ever achieved and I would like to congratulate the students on their hard work and dedication. I would also like to thank the staff whose expertise and tireless support of the students has helped us achieve these outstanding results. The school is now in a position where our performance at GCSE places us well above the national average and, as a result, more of our students have the opportunity to continue their studies at the highest levels. This is a very exciting time for the school and we look forward to continued success next year.
