Record Breaking GCSE Results
We are delighted with our record breaking GCSE results this year. Headline figures include 71% of students achieving 5 A*- C grades including English and maths. The performance in our core subjects was particularly strong with 85% of students achieving a C grade or above in English and 81% achieving a C grade or above in Maths. 77% of all grades were A* - C.
Progress 8, the new accountability measure for schools, gauges the progress students’ make from when they first join the school. It looks at performance across a number of subjects with a particular emphasis on the academic core. We conclude from this that progress is outstanding at Imberhorne with extremely strong scores for the component elements; English, Maths, Science, Humanities and Languages (EBacc subjects).
Martin Brown, Headteacher commented “I am very proud of our students and their achievements this summer; they have worked extremely hard, applying themselves wholeheartedly to their studies whilst making valuable contributions to the wider life of the school. These well deserved results provide a really strong foundation for next stage of their educational journey. There have been many outstanding individual achievements but what matters most is the progress of each student. My congratulations go to all the students and my gratitude to the teachers and parents who have supported them so fully in their time at the school"
Bob Darvill, Chairman of Governors, added "Imberhorne students have worked very hard indeed to achieve great results this summer. They need to be thoroughly congratulated for their success and I hope each and every one of them has the opportunity to celebrate with their teachers and families who have supported their endeavours’’
Darren Jones, Head of KS4, said “It has been a joy to work with such well motivated and positive young people. I wish them well as they move into the sixth form or the next phase of their young careers”
