Crompton House's class of 2023 excel on GCSE results day

Date published: 24 August 2023


Crompton House Year 11 students have once again achieved an outstanding set of exam results, with 21% of all grades at 7-9, 61% of all grades at 5-9 and 80% of all grades at 4-9.

These are all significantly higher than the average for the north west.

A significant number of Year 11 students will be heading back to Crompton House to continue their studies at sixth form, and staff look forward to welcoming them back in September.

Staff also wish the best of luck to those students continuing their studies and apprenticeships elsewhere.

Top achievers at Crompton House include Grace Maddock, who achieved an incredible 10 Grade 9s, Isabelle Hamer with five grade 9s, two grade 8s, two grade 7s and a grade 6, Emlia Jaskowska with one grade 9, nine grade 8s and a grade 7, Kirsten Bradbury with two grade 9s, four grade 8s and four grade 7s and Jianna Muco with eight grade 8s and two grade 7s.

Mr. Karl Newell, Headteacher at Crompton House, said: "I am very pleased to congratulate our Year 11 students for their excellent GCSE results.

"It was expected that the overall results would be similar to 2019 which was the last year exams were taken before the pandemic.

"Therefore, it is extremely, pleasing to report that Crompton House School appears to have achieved results far higher than 2019, with over 78% of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above and 55% achieving a grade 5 or above in both English and Maths.

"The vast majority of subjects show a greater level of attainment compared to 2019 figures and some exceed what they achieved in 2022.

"Overall, a very positive picture so far and lots to celebrate!

"We are looking forward to seeing many of our students return to Crompton House sixth form in September and to hearing how others have been successful in gaining places on various college courses."
