Students and staff at Park High School in Stanmore are celebrating today after receiving another year of outstanding GCSE results.
The school hall was full of excitement as Year 11 students marked the culmination of their hard work and dedication.
An impressive 82 per cent of students achieved a standard pass (grade 9-4) in Mathematics and 82 per cent achieved the same in English Literature, with 76 per cent securing a grade 9-4 in English Language. Overall, 63 per cent of the cohort achieved five standard passes at GCSE, including English and Maths. While the school’s overall Attainment 8 score is yet to be confirmed, current projections indicate it will be strong.
The school is particularly delighted with the success in the separate sciences. An incredible 100 per cent of students studying Biology, Chemistry, and Physics secured grades 9-5. Within this, 78.6 per cent of grades were at the highest level of 9-7, including 85 per cent of students achieving a grade 7 or above in Chemistry. This is a testament to the students’ focus and the high-quality teaching within the department.
This success extends across their broad and balanced curriculum, with excellent results in many other subjects, including:
Biology, Chemistry, and Physics: 100 per cent of students achieved grades 9-5
Music: 87.5 per cent of students achieving grades 9-5
Drama: 89 per cent of students achieving grades 9-4
Computer Science: 85 per cent of students achieving grades 9-4
Religious Studies: 85 per cent of students achieving grades 9-4
Business: 81 per cent of students achieving grades 9-4
Combined Science: 73 per cent of students achieved grade 9-4
Headteacher Colette O’Dwyer said: “I am incredibly proud of our Year 11 students and staff. Their achievements are a direct result of their perseverance, hard work, and the unwavering support of our dedicated staff and their families. They have shown immense character and resilience, and these results are thoroughly deserved. It is wonderful to see so many of them celebrating today as they prepare for the next chapter of their education. We wish them all the very best for the future!”
A great number of Park High students will be continuing their journey into the school’s Sixth Form, with particular interest in their highly successful Science, Social Science, and Maths courses.
Following last week’s excellent A Level results, Park High is again celebrating its best GCSE results in recent year, rounding off a highly successful academic year. In October, Ofsted upgraded the school to Good in all areas, recognising the strides that school has made across teaching, behaviour and pastoral support.
Additionally, the school celebrated a number of awards this year, including being named an ACE School of Character, Artsmark Gold from the Arts Council England, the Bronze Equalities Award and the Quality in Careers Standard.
Park High students also proved themselves as Harrow Schools Sports Champions in both the boys and girls league tables – becoming the first school to ever hold both titles for consecutive years.
