Best results for more than a decade - college pupils celebrate GCSE success
Pupils, parents and staff at Tettenhall College are celebrating after Year 11 pupils have achieved an excellent set of GCSE results today. The school is proud to announce a significant improvement in not only the pass rate, up by 6 per cent, but also an increase in the number of grades at each level.
Notable pupil successes include Lucy with all top-grade results, seven subjects being at grade 9. Kirpa performed extremely strongly, again with top grades in all subjects including five grade 8 and 9s. Sahana is celebrating more top grades with seven subjects at grades 8 and 9 whilst Junayd secured six subjects at grades 8 and 9 (five at grade 9). Lucas, whilst at Tettenhall College played for Wolverhampton Wanderers Youth team and played his first cap for the England U16 squad last year. He has now signed a professional contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers and has demonstrated that sporting and academic success can go hand in hand with seven subjects at 7 and above. Yuri from Japan produced a wonderful set of results, securing eight subjects at grade 8 and 9.
Younger pupils also demonstrated their academic abilities, with Hayden securing a grade 9 in French despite only being in Year 9.
It was particularly pleasing to see that pupils achieved a 100% pass rate in English Literature, Higher Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, French and Spanish Higher, and EAL.
