GCSE RESULTS 2014 - BEST EVER RECORDED!
Prince Andrew School students achieved their best ever recorded GCSE exmination results this year with 49% of students achieving five GCSE A*- C grades, including English and Maths. Students overall achieved 57% A*-C passes, 91% A*-G passes. The school enjoyed some excellent results across a range of subjects with a number exceeding the averages for all schools in the UK.
We are extremely proud of our GCSE results. They reflect the hard work our students have put into preparing for these exams and also the commitment of our teachers. We hope the success achieved by our students this year will be an inspiration to their counterparts next year and prove to them that with effort and determination, they too can achieve the results they are capable of.
Our students also sat A & AS-level examinations and we are pleased with the numbers of students returning to continue their studies in the Sixth Form.
Public Relations of SHG reported Councillor Christine Scipio-O’Dean, Chair of the Education Committee who commented:
“I am delighted to offer my personal congratulations to the Year 11 students who have done so well this year. On behalf of the Education Committee, I would like to say ‘Well Done’ to all of the students and their families.”
Colin Moore, Director of Education and Employment, commented:
“These record breaking results are the news that the Island has been waiting for. They show that we have young people with the talent and skills that St Helena needs. We should all join together in saying well done and congratulations to our young people and their teachers.”
Finally giving his reaction to the results, H.E. Governor Capes concluded:
“This is really excellent news for St Helena. I offer warm congratulations to students, parents and teachers. The bar has now been raised. I hope that will encourage students taking these important exams next year to redouble their efforts over the months ahead so that they can match
or surpass these results.”
It is important to build on our success and our continued focus as a school will be to ensure that all our students achieve their potential.
