Staff at The Radclyffe School are "incredibly proud" of students who faced difficult challenges in their journey to achieving their GCSE and BTEC results.

This year's class saw positive results, with some standout achievements from students, which has left most students with what they needed to take their next steps.

Some standout students include Faheem Islam and Ayesha Begom, who both achieved six Grade 9s, while Waaiz Tufail and Ayaan Rahman both scored five Grade 9s each, with Sarrinah Chaudhry following closely with four Grade 9s.

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.

“Most 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, shown by our recent ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement.”

In total, 64 per cent of students achieved Grade 4 or above in both English and Maths, with 43 per cent of students achieved Grade 5 or above in the two subjects.

Of all the results awarded to students at the Radclyffe School, 13 per cent were Grade 7 or above, 44 per cent were Grade 5 or above and 62 per cent were Grade 4 and above.

Sue Webb, chair of governors said: “On behalf of the Governors I would like to 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.”
