Verulam Students received their GCSE and Level 2 BTEC exam results today and are celebrating a record year for academic outcomes.
The school wants to give a special mention to an outstanding group of students who averaged grade 9 across all of their GCSE subjects: Francis H, Sebastian S and Thomás B-D. Over a third of students achieved grade 9-7 on average, equivalent to the old A grade. Over 100 of the very highest grade 9s were awarded across a range of subjects.
Headteacher Fergal Moane said “This was a year group to be proud of, they showed incredible commitment and dedication during year 11 and have been rewarded with the outstanding results that they deserve. They have truly lived the Verulam values of excellence, character and respect. As well as their exam results, they should be proud of their work on mental health, student leadership and volunteering.
“This consolidates Verulam’s position established over the last 5 years of academic outcomes being consistently in the top 25% of schools nationally. This cohort is the group that has the highest estimated progress score that the school has achieved since the measure was introduced by the government in 2016.
“On behalf of all of our staff, we offer congratulations and best wishes for the next step. We look forward to welcoming many of our students back to our thriving sixth form in September.”
