gcse results

In 2011 students celebrated another set of exceptional GCSE results, as once again they are significantly higher than the national average.

56% of grades were A* and A, an outstanding achievement.

100% of students who took Music and French at GCSE achieved A* and 100% of students who took History and Geography achieved A or A*.

Head Teacher Mrs Sue Rowe said, ‘“This is an excellent set of results; as a non-selective school we are extremely proud of the achievements of all our pupils. The students are a credit to St Joseph’s and their families and I look forward to seeing them using this springboard to fulfil their considerable potential as they progress onto the next stage of education or into apprenticeships. My congratulations to them all on such tremendous and well deserved results.”

The top performers for 2011 were Freddie Bowden, Lily Robinson, Penny Tilsley and Head Pupil Grace Waterhouse who all achieved A* and A Grades.
