Greenbank High School congratulates pupils on GCSE results

Greenbank High School have offered a well-deserved congratulations to students who collected their GCSE results on Thursday.

The school said: “Congratulations to all Year 11 leavers at Greenbank High School who have gained the grades they richly deserved and worked so hard for. Our students thrived during a process of continuous assessment from March to June, where they showed great resilience, to achieve exceptional performance.”

Ian Raikes, Headteacher said: “We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted period. I am delighted about the progress made by all pupils of all abilities and they are well equipped to pursue the next stage of their journey and flourish in whichever career path they choose in the future. Thank you to our teachers who have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto further education and study.”

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through an intensive and rigorous process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.
