Victoria College Students Achieve Record 9-4 Grades at GCSE

On Thursday 22 August, Year 11 Victoria College students were welcomed into the Great Hall to receive their results. Senior staff, pastoral and careers teachers were present to offer support and guidance to the boys as they finalised the next important decisions about their post-16 education and careers, as were many members of the teaching staff to celebrate the successes with the students. 

We are delighted to report that over 97% of all grades were in the 9-4 range, which is the highest ever achieved by the College in formally sat and assessed exams. It was also fantastic to see 67% of all grades in the 9-6 range and 87% of all grades in the 9-5 range, both three year highs. Once again, our Year 11 cohort attained a positive value-added score above national benchmarks, highlighting the effort from the students and the quality support from the staff. These figures are before updates following mark reviews and resits.

Headteacher, Dr Gareth Hughes, said “What a superb set of results and I could not be prouder of the students. They have worked extremely hard over the last few years and so much progress has been made in that time. My sincere thanks go to my staff that guided our young people so well, and to our parental body that offered outstanding support at home. We are excited to welcome many of the cohort back to join our Sixth Form in September, where they will be joined by record numbers of external applicants from 11-16 Island schools and overseas. We, of course, also wish those heading off to explore new opportunities all the very best for the future and we thank them for all they’ve done as part of the Victoria College community.”
