Well done to all of our Year 11 students collecting their GCSE results today.

Following the impressive Sixth Form results last week, we are delighted that our Year 11 students have also performed exceptionally well across the full range of GCSE and BTEC qualifications. The learning journey this year group has had to navigate has been challenging. With lockdown learning from home and no formal examinations in Year 6 to bubble classrooms in Year 7, the route to success has not been easy. Therefore, the staff at Archbishop Holgate’s could not be more thrilled with what this wonderful group of students has achieved.

Key Headlines

We are pleased to say that 86% of all students passed their English GCSE with 83% passing their Maths GCSE. There were also strong performances in Science, RE and across the full range of humanities subjects and vocational qualifications.

These results are a testament to the hard work and commitment of the students, their families, and our dedicated teams of staff. We are excited to see how these students continue to flourish in their future studies and beyond.

Lucie Pond, Headteacher, said, ‘We are so pleased that this superb year group has achieved the set of results they deserve. They have shown real commitment throughout their studies at the school. I am looking forward to welcoming a very large number of them back to our Sixth Form. Congratulations to all of our students and my thanks to the outstanding staff at Archbishop Holgate’s who continue to teach our students to an exceptionally high standard.”

Alexis Green-Harding, Deputy Headteacher of Curriculum, said: “It has been a privilege to celebrate GCSE results with our students and their families today. The pride and happiness on so many faces reflect the hard work and commitment that has gone into these achievements. As our young people move on to Sixth Form, apprenticeships or employment, they should feel proud of all they have accomplished. We wish them every success for the future.”

Mrs De Lashley, Head of Sixth Form said: “Year 11 have achieved excellent results and we can’t wait to take the next step with them into Post-16. They will undoubtedly continue to flourish and be an asset to our outstanding Sixth Form.”
