Greenshaw is justly proud of its success in achieving the very best for its students. Our students successfully progress to a wide range of destinations both at the end of their GCSE and A Level courses.

Key stage 4

In summer 2024, there were 177 passes at the highest score (a Grade 9) alone, and over four fifths of the year group achieved grade 4s, or significantly better, in Maths and English. Two students achieved all of their passes at Grade 9 – huge congratulations to Rhushil and Rokith. No fewer than eighty-one students achieved five passes at Grade 7 or higher (the equivalent of an A grade), and looking at the achievements across the whole year group we are very proud of all of our students.

Amongst the annual celebrations of achievement, it is worth remembering what makes this group of students very different to any other. This year group is the group of students who started secondary school in 2019, and by March of Year 7, schools had closed because of the pandemic, and this year group did not complete their first year of secondary education in school. When they returned to learning at the start of Year 8, these students remained in the English corridor, being taught in a ‘bubble’. Then again, in January of Year 8, they returned home a second time when schools were closed and had their learning at home.

Headteacher, Mr House, said: “For this group of students to have successfully completed their GCSE courses is in itself an achievement. Given the challenges, both socially and with their learning, every young person in Year 11 at Greenshaw, and indeed across the country, should feel proud of what they have achieved.”

Key stage 5 (16 to 18) information

31% of all A Levels sat in summer 2024 were passed at A* or A grades, and 88% of all A Levels were passed at a C grade or higher. Both of these figures are significantly higher than the national equivalent. Five of our students achieved three A* grades, and no fewer than twenty-eight students achieved three A Levels at grade A or better.

Director of Sixth Form, Miss Larkin, said: “We are so proud of what was a superb group of students. They really supported each other, and it is brilliant to see what they have done academically, as well as being so committed to the community and cultural development of their year group.”

Three Greenshaw students are headed to Oxbridge. Arnav is studying Engineering and Emily English Literature at Oxford, while Lucy is reading Law at Cambridge. We extend huge congratulations as well to Jath, who is studying Medicine at Kent University. Sixty of our students have been offered places at a Russell Group university, regarded as the most prestigious of university destinations.

Headteacher, Mr House, said: “I want to pass on huge congratulations to all of our students. They have achieved brilliant things already, and have so much to come. I also want to thank all of our staff for their tireless support and care that have supported our students in achieving these results.”
