On GCSE Results Day, many of our students came together to celebrate the successful completion of their English or Maths course.

Thanks to their hard work and dedication throughout the 2023/2024 academic year, 402 students achieved a grade 4 in GCSE  English, with 184 gaining similar grades in Maths.

One of these students was Daniella Orelaja, who completed the qualifications in the summer. The former Canon Slade pupil achieved a grade 4 in both maths and English and said: “I want to say a huge thank you to the tutors that helped me achieve this. It feels like all that effort has been rewarded and I am really proud of myself.”

Many students also completed their Functional Skills Maths and English qualifications which will allow them to progress on to the GCSE course.  

Victoria Fell, Faculty Director and Strategic Lead - English and Maths, said: “I am so proud of all those who have achieved amazing grades in their GCSE Maths and English resits over the last 12 months. The commitment and resilience of the students have been rewarded with some fantastic results.”

English and Maths qualifications are highly valued by employers and universities. They will help you gain the essential skills and knowledge needed to operate confidently and effectively in everyday life and at work and will help you progress to achieve your career goals.
