Batley Girls' achieve 91% 5 A*-C

This year the girls’ school is celebrating 99% of students achieving at least five GCSE passes. The 5 A*-C percentage has broken records again, leaping to 91%.

“This year’s results are significantly better than last year- which itself broke records!” commented a thrilled Jackie Eames. “I’m particularly delighted that 5A*-C including English and Maths is another ‘best ever’ at 56% exceeding our target by an impressive 10%. English has achieved excellent results with 94% A*-C in Literature and 69% in Language. Science results have soared, with 63% gaining 2 A*-C’s.

Other subjects which excelled include Fine Art with 98% A*-C grades; Statistics with 100% A*-C and 79% A*-B; Sociology with 80% A*-C and RE, where almost a third of the cohort got A* and A grades.

Exceptional individual performances included Aadila Chothia with 6A* and 8 A’s; Marya Rawat with 4A* and 6A’s; Saffiyah Mayet with 4A* and 5A’s and Saadya Madwi with 4A* and 4A’s.

Girls of all ability levels have surpassed their targets, ably supported by committed, talented staff. With results like these, the sixth form in our new academy should attract record numbers since parents can feel certain their daughters are in an excellent learning centre. I am really proud of the difference we make to our students’ lives and thank students, staff, parents and governors for their contribution to these stunning results.

“Results like these underline just how special our sixth form provision is,” said a delighted Jackie Eames. “ It looks very likely that our A level results will, for the 2nd year running, be the best in Kirklees. Add to this the fact that at 94% our AS pass rate is significantly above national pass rate and local families will no doubt be delighted the school and its sixth form are here to stay!”
