Keswick School is celebrating its best ever set of GCSE results today.
It said more students have secured a grade 4 or above than in any previous year in the school’s history, including during the pandemic, with results jumping up by almost 10% from last year.
As Keswick School is the Language Hub for the North West, the school said it was delighted that of 145 students who took a modern foreign language, 60% of students studying French achieved grades 9-7 and 37% of students studying German achieved the same standard, with 16 grade 9s.
The success follows a whole school Ofsted inspection in April this year where the school was graded as outstanding in every category.
Head Simon Jackson said: “I am hugely proud of all our students. They have achieved some outstanding results. The GCSE grades awarded today reflect their hard work and dedication.
“They have been a pleasure to have as part of our Keswick School community. It is also great to see such fantastic GCSE outcomes following the full Ofsted inspection when the school was graded as outstanding in every category in April of this year.
“I would also like to pay tribute to our exceptional specialist teaching and support staff. They are an incredibly committed group of staff who always go the extra mile to support our young people. It is through their care and encouragement that students at Keswick School become confident and highly articulate young people.”
Rev Charles Hope, chair of governors, said: “Results day is always a special day for students, parents and staff. The excitement of receiving the results and sharing news is palpable.
“The results of our Keswick School Year 11 pupils are a wonderful achievement for all our students. The results also reflect the dedication and commitment of our teaching and support staff and their great efforts on behalf of the students.
“The support of parents and carers too is invaluable to their children’s success. Congratulations all round! We look forward to welcoming so many of these year 11s back into the sixth form!”
