GCSE Results 2024

We’d like to congratulate our Year 11 students on their GCSE results and to recognise all of the hard work and effort that led them to this point. 

 

Thursday 22 August brought many stories of student success. It is never right to single out individuals when so many could be mentioned. However, we would like to congratulate students such as Jeanne Ampiah, Alice D'Alessandro Garcia, Mohamed Iman Barre, Sasha Killick, Yajat Lohani and Ivy Trayner Clark all of whom achieved GCSEs representing attainment at the very highest level. We must also mention students such as Max Sherwood, Ariel Correia, Alaa Sied, Tayo Akinwunmi, Inayah Martello and Kallel Harris who can be praised for very impressive results and incredible progress.  Well done all. 

 

Whilst today was first and foremost about the students’ personal experience, it is worth reflecting on the achievements of the whole cohort. Almost three quarters of our students achieved the national standard in English and Maths enabling them, irrespective of starting points, to be able to have a real choice about their next steps. Half of all Dunraven students achieved a strong pass in English and Mathematics. Across our broad curriculum, subjects as diverse as Spanish, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Drama, Music and French all produced very strong results. Elsewhere in the curriculum subjects seven out of ten students taking History and Geography achieved the national standard. These results are above national averages, and the result of hard work and dedication from all. 

Their Director of Learning for Year Ms Duke said, ‘I am super proud of each and every one of you. I wish you all the best of luck on the next chapters in your education.’ We are very glad to see so many intend to return to continue their studies in the Sixth Form. 

 

We don’t have to go back too far in recent history to remember that this Year 11 have had a number of challenges through their school career. Notably, school was closed during the spring before they had completed Year 7 and then once again in Year 8. It is a testament to those young people therefore that their results are as strong as they are and remain above national averages. Thanks must be paid to their teachers for their care and expertise as well as to families at home for the support provided.

 

So, well done to Year 11, and the brilliant futures that lie ahead.
