Record breaking GCSE success for Liskeard School Year 11 - students with SEND achieve the best overall school attainment ever seen!
This year, over 67% of all grades were at standard pass or better, 51% of all grades were at a strong pass or better and 16% of the whole cohort achieved the highest grade categories at grade 7,8 or 9. In addition, 55% of all vocational grades achieved the highest two grade categories of merit and distinction.
We are especially proud of how well students who have additional needs and challenges have achieved. Students with SEND and students who have experienced disadvantage have achieved the highest GCSE attainment in the school’s recorded history, putting these students’ achievements in line with or above national average for the first time.
We are so grateful to our whole school community – staff, parents, carers, families and supporters – for all of the contributions they have made to these great success stories.
Headteacher Dan Wendon said ‘The hard work, commitment and sense of community from this group of students has been inspirational. The excellent attainment we have seen is built from this fantastic attitude and supported by committed guidance and support from staff. I am thrilled that this strong, supportive group of young people have achieved so well and especially pleased to see another positive step in a four-year upward trend in attainment for all students, including those who have experienced additional challenges.’
Assistant Headteacher responsible for Year 11 Ingrid Goudge said ‘What a privilege it has been to be able to work with Year 11 over this last academic year! I am so proud of them for stepping up to the challenges they faced over the year, for being proactive about their own development, and for maximising every opportunity available to them to achieve success. Well done to you!'
We are keen to welcome Year 11 students to Liskeard School Sixth Form and with such strong GCSE results anticipate strong interest in places! You can come to the Sixth Form to enrol, seek advice or gain information about any aspect of the Sixth Form on Wednesday 26th August between 9.00 and 12.00.
