GCSE Success

Arnewood headteacher Jamie Anderson with some of the school’s GCSE students with their results

This morning GCSE students collected their results, with the majority to continue their education at Arnewood Sixth.

Headteacher Jamie Anderson said: “I am extremely proud of the students and staff who have worked so hard to achieve so much. We look forward to welcoming the majority of students back in Year 12 to start the next phase of their education.

“We are proud to adapt our curriculum to enable students to access courses in school and with other providers. We are delighted that a number of our students will be starting apprenticeships next year and will take their next steps in becoming electricians and working in the hospitality industry.”

In terms of attainment, subject highlights included Modern Foreign Languages, Religious Studies, Computer Science, Music, Art, Drama and Food Preparation and Nutrition. English remains Arnewood’s highest performing core subject despite a significant challenge from science this year.

Excellent individual performances included: Jess and Becky Hoile, Joseph Benson, Matti Timms, Charlie Harvey, Lucy Emms, Macy Colein, and Luke Freeman. In relation to progress: Sammy Reeve, Belle Nash, Eva Thorne, Matas Markaitis and Sammy Hotea made huge strides during their time at Arnewood.
