Plenty to smile about at Radclyffe on GCSE and BTEC results day

Students at The Radclyffe School in Chadderton have a great deal to smile about as the Class of 2023 received this year’s GCSE and BTEC results.

This cohort of students performed extremely well and gained excellent results as a reward for their hard work during Key Stage 4.

Their overall results compare very favourably to those achieved by students in previous years, despite grade boundaries reverting this year to the more challenging, pre-Covid levels of 2019.

Some key ‘headline’ measures for the whole school included:

·       65% of students achieved Grade 4 or above in both English and Maths

·       40% of students achieved Grade 5 or above in both English and Maths

·       58% of students achieved a Grade 4 or above in at least two Sciences

·       17% of all results awarded were Grade 7 or above

·       52% of all results awarded were Grade 5 or above

·       71% of all results awarded were Grade 4 or above

Exceptional individual performances were acclaimed, with students gaining excellent results or making outstanding progress.

Headteacher John Cregg said: “I am incredibly proud of our students, who have demonstrated outstanding resilience and application in order to achieve these excellent results.

"Like all current students, these young people have had their secondary education severely disrupted by Covid-19 and have faced the added challenge of a return to the pre-pandemic, tougher standards of qualifications and grade boundaries.

"The vast majority of our learners have achieved exactly what they need in order to begin their chosen post-16 courses and I wish them all the very best for the future.

“I would also like to thank our amazing staff who have guided these young people incredibly well throughout the last five years and have once again demonstrated the fabulous standards of education, care and support we provide here at the Radclyffe School.”

Sue Webb, Chair of Governors, said: “On behalf of the Governors I would congratulate all our students on their results, achieved in the toughest of circumstances.

"Our students and the staff who have taught and supported them so wonderfully over the last five years should all be very proud of themselves.”
