GCSE RESULTS – BOHUNT EDUCATION TRUST HAS ITS BEST EVER YEAR
2018 HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC YEAR FOR STUDENTS WITHIN BOHUNT EDUCATION TRUST. EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THAT 4 OF THE SCHOOLS WILL BE CELEBRATING THEIR BEST EVER PROGRESS 8 SCORE, WITH ALL SCHOOLS HAVING AN IMPROVED PROGRESS 8 SCORE FROM 2017.
This has generated a great deal of interest from media with TV crews from BBC South Today and ITV Meridian present at two of the BET schools on GCSE results day. Overall circulation/viewing figures for local media coverage totalled 3.3 million – a fantastic PR reach for our schools!
Priory School has once again achieved its best-ever GCSE results, with 60% of students getting a Grade 4 or better in English and in maths, up three percentage points from last year. This despite having a weaker cohort than last year.
At City Academy Norwich , which has received school improvement support since September 2017 and has now transferred its governance to BET, students and staff celebrated the best results in the academy’s history, with strong improvement achieved in the key measure of a grade 4 or better in English and Maths. Overall, 43% of students at the school achieved a Grade 4 or better in English and in maths. This marks a significant nine percentage-point improvement on last year’s results.
The Costello School continues to go from strength to strength with results that again surpass the good performances seen in previous years, with 65% of students getting the Grade 4 benchmark, or better, in English and in maths.
Bohunt School students (in Liphook) celebrated another record year with 80% achieving a grade 4 or better in English and Maths. One student achieved an astonishing full set of grade 9’s and A*’s being one of only 732 nationally.
Students at The Petersfield School (TPS) achieved the academy’s highest English and Maths pass rate in its 60-year history, with 83% achieving a Grade 4 or higher in both subjects, a three percentage point increase on last year’s record results. They too had a student who achieved the full suite of top grades.
