This year’s results marks the first cohort who have completed the new GCSE qualifications in English Language, English Literature and Maths, where the grading system spans from grade 9 (the highest grade) to grade 1 (the lowest).

Impressively, over a quarter of the cohort achieved grade 7 (equivalent to an A grade) or above in English and Maths with over 41% of the cohort achieving a 7 or above in GCSE English.

This year also saw the introduction of the newly designed grade 9 which recognises the very highest performing pupils.  Remarkably, nearly 50 of these prestigious grades were awarded to Tarporley students.  The outstanding school also scored particularly highly as a third of all grades awarded overall were at grade 9/A*/A.

Head Teacher Sarah Lee said “My congratulations go out to all our conscientious students who have shown such exceptional commitment to make excellent progress.  As always, I would like to thank their families for all the support they have given over the last five years. I would also like to offer my thanks to our passionate and dedicated staff who have worked extremely hard to enable all of our students to achieve.”

Special congratulations go to:
