Student success:
This year, GCSE grade boundaries have been adjusted to 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Ofqual advised that this approach to grading would mean that results ‘are highly likely to be lower than last summer.’ However, Oaks Park students have bucked the national trend and produced an impressive set of results, including some record breaking figures. We are extremely proud of all our students.
Whilst the national trend has seen a drop of 4.4% in the highest grades (7 – 9), we know the students below will be celebrating their remarkable GCSE results:
Student A: 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 8 – 8
Student B: 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 8 – 8 – 8 – 7 – 7
Student C: 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 8 – 8 – 8 – 7 – 7
Student D: 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 9 – 8 – 8 – 7 – 7 – 6
SUBJECT INFORMATION
We are also celebrating achievements in a number of subject areas. English Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Combined Science, Food Technology, Geography, Hair and Beauty, Travel and Tourism, Computer Science and PE all demonstrated significant progress in this year’s results.
Mr Amin, Headteacher, said: ‘I am delighted with our results. It is a significant achievement to have increased our performance in a year when national outcomes are lower. This year’s results not only reflect our students' resilience, sheer hard work and commitment, but they are also a reflection of how Oaks Park continues to drive up academic standards through teaching and learning. Staff at Oaks Park go above and beyond to support our students academically and pastorally, and this year has been no exception.
We are extremely proud of all our students and wish them every success in the next phase of their education or employment.’
