GCSE RESULTS
The achievement of Year 11 students across a wide variety of subjects was impressive. 67% of Year 11 students achieved 5+A*-C passes, 52% inclusive of English and Maths. 42% of the Year 11 students obtained 10 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C. 94% students achieved 5+A*-G and 97% obtained 1+A*-C. These statistics include a number of vocational qualifications (GNVQ) which carry certain GCSE equivalencies. Health & Social Care and Leisure & Tourism GNVQs are equivalent to 2 GCSEs and Business is equivalent to 4 GCSEs. Double Award Science is also equivalent to 2 GCSEs.
These figures compare favourably with the GCSE performance at Caludon Castle School in previous years and in comparison with Local Authority and national statistics, as shown on the graphs below.
