Outstanding GCSE results

Following on from the excellent A Level results last week where every student passed all of the examinations they sat, we congratulate all our students on their outstanding GCSE and A Level results and join with their families in celebrating their achievements, which represent the culmination of many years of their dedication to their education. We are deeply grateful to our dedicated, innovative and hard-working staff, and to our parents and governors for their unwavering support. We look forward to welcoming the majority of Year 11 back in the Sixth Form in September.

A Level Results – Congratulations Year 13

We are hugely proud of the achievements of our students and recognise the dedication and effort that went into such a successful set of results. Overall, the academic attainment of the students this year is outstanding and their excellent results represent the culmination of many years spent studying. Every year, about a quarter of our Sixth Form students start Year 12 after transferring from nearby secondary schools. The strong foundation from those schools, along with CCHSG's support, have contributed to the students excellent A level results. We sincerely thank our dedicated, innovative and hard-working staff who supported, encouraged and nurtured our students in their A Level studies. Furthermore, we are grateful to our parents and governors for their unstinting support.

These outstanding results form a stepping stone to future success. We wish all our Year 13 students every happiness as they progress on to the next exciting stage of their lives.
