GCSE Results Day 2018
As the examination season for 2018 draws to its final conclusion and we are days away from the beginning of the academic year, here at the college, we are immensely proud of all that our community of learners have achieved.
At GCSE the students have attained the best results in the history of the College, with 62% achieving top grades in English and mathematics. Whilst again, the students in our outstanding sixth form, produced excellent grades ensuring that they all gained places at university.
However, our greatest success, as I see it, is in the programme of study we provide, where the talents, identity and personality of our students is given the fullest opportunity to develop. Our students and teachers have shown outstanding resilience and sheer determination in the ever evolving world of education.
But in any good educational campus in the country what really matters are those things that cannot be graded and we remain a college that has at its heart the young people we educate.
Congratulations to all the students at Archbishop Beck Catholic College.
