The validated GCSE results have now been released by the Department for Education. Many schools show significant improvement, but there are some dips for other schools. Carisbrooke's improvement is incredible.
Well done to all the leaders, staff and pupils who have worked so hard in the last couple of years towards improving GCSE results. Your achievement has been recognised nationally.
Congratulations to Medina pupil, Joe Groves, who achieved nine GCSE grades at A* and two more at grade A making him one of the highest achievers nationally.
There's been a massive GCSE improvement at Carisbrooke College with the number of pupils obtaining 5 GCSEs at A*-C including English and Maths, surging from below 30% to 54%. Well done to all!
The early results reported by the Island’s six secondary schools show that 48% of pupils achieved five A*-C GCSE passes, including English and mathematics, up from 45% in 2014.
