Bridgnorth Endowed School is extremely pleased to report some considerable achievements from its students in this year’s GCSE results.<\/p>\n

In particular, the top grades have seen the biggest rise with a record number of students being awarded Grade 9.<\/p>\n

A remarkable performance, as the government rolls out its reformed 9 to 1 grading scale, with Grade 9, the highest mark, being awarded to far fewer students than the old A*.<\/p>\n

The new courses are reported to be a lot tougher, with significantly more content and a shift to final exams rather than coursework.<\/p>\n

Headteacher, Mr Worth said: \u201cThe new, more challenging GCSE qualifications have pushed some students to perform above the A* grade across a range of subjects. I\u2019d like to thank the pupils and staff for their hard work and commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outstanding individual successes include Oliver Carvell who achieved an impressive eight Grade 9s and has been offered a scholarship to study A Levels at Shrewsbury School.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really pleased with my results after all the hard work. The school provided a good framework of revision sessions and support, and I was given a great deal of encouragement, especially from my form tutor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well done to Sophie Hartshorne, who\u2019s moving on to King Edward\u2019s to study A Level Biology, Chemistry and Maths, after getting three 9s, five 8s and an A*.<\/p>\n

Naomi Agwinah achieved high grades with 8s in both Spanish and French, and will go on to study A Level Maths, Further Maths, Economics and French at King Edward\u2019s in Stourbridge.<\/p>\n

Isaac Johnson scored top grades and is heading off to Thomas Telford to study A Levels, and Lucy Simms, who also had an excellent set of results, including two 9s and an A, will stay on at Bridgnorth Endowed for Sixth Form.<\/p>\n

Mr Worth highlights: \u201cThe high standard of teaching at Bridgnorth Endowed School was praised in a recent Ofsted report and the increase in the number of students gaining top grades is testament to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since taking up headship just over a year ago, Mr Worth has introduced a raft of changes and continues his mission towards an outstanding school with high standards of academic achievement for all, underpinned by traditional values of discipline, courtesy and good manners.<\/p>\n

With ambitious plans to strengthen the curriculum, starting from this school year, all Year 10 and Year 11 pupils will now follow the EBacc pathway, taking a language and a humanity as well as science, maths and English.<\/p>\n

Mr Worth concludes: \u201cWe believe passionately in giving our students every opportunity to accomplish beyond what they think is possible and go out into the world as well-rounded young people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
