Year 11 students from St Benedict’s have today returned to school to collect their GCSE results and celebrated with parents, teachers and friends.

Students received their results either via e-mail, or most came into school to collect them. They then had the chance to speak to their teachers, careers advisors and have a Sixth Form interview if they required.  

Mrs Jackson, Headteacher at St Benedict’s said:

We are extremely proud of the achievements of all our students today, after all of their hard work in their GCSEs. We wish them all the best for their futures whatever they decide to do, and are looking forward to welcoming many of them back to our Sixth Form in September.

Notable results this year included:

Grace Savage who gained nine Grade 9’s in Combined Science, English Language, English Literature, Geography, History, Higher Maths, RE & Spanish and one Grade 8 in Further Maths

Ben Wrigley who gained five Grade 9’s in Biology, English Language, English Literature, Geography, Higher Maths, three Grade 8’s in Chemistry, German & Physics, one Grade 7 in Physics and one Grade 5 in Further Maths

Mrs Hannan, the Head of Year commented:

“We couldn’t be prouder of our students’ achievements in this year’s GCSE exams. Each one of them has shown incredible determination and resilience and their success is a reflection of their hard work. Congratulations to every student on their well- deserved success.”
