Ryde School GCSE pupils on results day

Ryde School celebrates best GCSE results since introduction of 9-1 grading

News shared by Ra on behalf of Ryde School. Ed


GCSE results are being celebrated today at Ryde School with 41 per cent of all grades at 9, 8 or 7 which represents the best results the School has achieved at this level since the 9-1 grading system was fully introduced (excluding Covid-adjusted years).

This is particularly notable given a national trend of fewer top GCSE grades. Ryde School pupils celebrated an impressive 23 per cent of grades at 9 to 8 with 89 per cent of grades at 9 to 4.

After all their efforts over the last two years, pupils are justifiably celebrating their achievements.

Outstanding individual grades
The School would also like to highlight some outstanding individual grades.

  • Alice Owen achieved eight GCSEs at grade 9 with one subject at grade 8.
  • Wilona Rong attained seven GCSEs at grade 9, two at grade 8 and one at grade 7
  • Benjamin Lochhead achieved seven GCSEs at grade 9 and two at grade 8.
  • Sophie Corry, Hugo Gallerwood, Franz Michalos, Eliot O’Sullivan and Kavin Sivalingham all achieved seven or more grades 9 or 8 in their subjects.

Over a third of pupils achieved five or more GCSEs at grade 7 or higher and 64.8 per cent of pupils achieved five or more GCSEs at grade 6 or higher.

Head Master Will Turner commented,

“Ryde School pupils can be very proud of the grades they have received today. These excellent results are a reflection of their ambition and hard work over the past two years. I would also like to thank their teachers for guiding and supporting them so well throughout their GCSE courses. We are all delighted to see such strong results today following on from the impressive A Level and IB results last week.”

This really needs to be an option routinely for all whi have been recently discharged from medical treatment on the understanding they are “driven straight home” due to recent surgery or raised risk of infection. The risk of not doing so is much greater to that individual than the likelihood of the boat sinking. This already happens for those transported by ambulance, albeit it is only permitted… Read more »

Of course you’re right and in my experience Wightlink have frequently, depending on the presence of known defined ‘dangerous cargo’ routinely carried (more common than you might imagine), have always had a more flexible approach provided that they know where those people are. The problems arise when 200 passengers want to remain in their cars away from all life saving equipment and information as well as flitting… Read more »

Posts that relate to the risk to passengers remaining in their vehicle ‘in case the ship sinks’. I dont recall a ferry on the mainland to IW run sinking. Segregation of people to help prevent this virus spreading is paramount, this far exceeds the risk of the ferry sinking. Thank you to our MP for raising this.

It seems to me that there is a real risk to people travelling to and from the mainland, before or after surgery, when their immune systems may be compromised because of their condition, if they are forced to mix in close proximity with their fellow passengers. Providing a space on the upper car deck of those ferries so equipped, reserved for the few vehicles that contain such… Read more »
