Students from Ryde Academy are today celebrating their GCSE results, having faced months away from school as a result of national lockdowns and Covid restrictions.
Given the circumstances, the Government decided that students’ results would be determined by teachers this year. Each school has considered carefully what a fair grade is for each student, based on what they have been able to learn and achieve during the last two years. These grades were submitted to the exam boards together with supporting evidence, and then quality assured by the exam boards.
Highlights
So many students did really well including:
- Ruby Hendy achieved nine grade 9s and a grade 7
- Anna Cockayne achieved eight grade 9s, two grade 8s
- Ed Humphries achieved four grade 9s, five grade 8s and a 7
- Hannah Ainsworth achieved six grade 9s, four grade 8s
- Oliver Brunton achieved six grade 9s, three grade 8s and a grade 7
- Maddie Hemper achieved three grade 9s, four grade 8s, two grade 7s and a grade 6
- Mahima Begum achieved three grade 9s, three grade 8s and a 7
- Jessica Way made the most progress of all students gaining four grade 8s, five grade 7s and a grade 5 with progress score +3.08.
Ballard: They have a bright future ahead
Joy Ballard, Principal of Ryde Academy said,
“I am delighted for our Year 11 students – they have worked so hard, both this year and last year, despite all of the challenges and disruption that Covid brought.
“They deserve these grades and I am incredibly proud of what each and every one of them has achieved. Whether they are going onto study A Levels, vocational qualifications, or going into employment or training, they have a bright future ahead.”
