St Aloysius celebrates excellent GCSE outcomes

Students were celebrating, with a clean sweep of outstanding success in the core subjects, an amazing 70% achieved the benchmark of a Grade 4 or above in both English and Mathematics, surpassing last year’s record and national outcomes. Outstanding performances included 100% of students achieving 9-4 grades, in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Other strong achievements included outstanding outcomes in English at 83%, Maths at 74%, as well as Art at 90%, Graphics at 82%, Technology at 75%, and PE at 82%. Humanities also performed very well with History at 68% and Geography 68%. We are confident that progress released in the Autumn will affirm the fantastic work our students and staff have done. This represents a continued improvement over the 2018 results and follows the substantial improvement in this year’s A level results and indicates that the most able students performed half of one grade better than the national average of 2018.

Back to School

This week sees our young people return to school at the start of a new academic year. As they start or resume their studies it will be a time of change whether they are starting or changing schools, moving to a new class, taking up new courses, getting to know new teachers or making new friends. We will keep all our young people, their teachers, support workers and parents in our thoughts, praying that, learning in schools that are filled with love and care for their development, they bear good fruit and that, filled and guided by the Holy Spirit, they achieve the potential of the gifts God freely gives them.
