The staff at Mascalls Academy are delighted to announce another fantastic year of GCSE results for our students. These results are a testament to both the substantial efforts of the students and the great skill of their teachers, as well as the shared commitment throughout the GCSE journey. This Year 11 cohort has demonstrated a real sense of determination throughout the lead-up to their exams and the examination series itself.
60% of students achieved a grade 4 or higher in maths and 62% in English. Biology, chemistry, and physics also saw students achieve an average grade of 5, along with dance, music, art, and graphics. This year, it has been the creative subjects’ turn to shine, with art, graphics, catering, photography, music, dance, and drama all securing incredibly high outcomes. There were 469 grades achieved across the year group greater than a 5, with 14 of those grades at grade 9 and 45 at grade 8. In addition to these top GCSE grades, there were also 27 distinction* or distinction grades in vocational subjects.
