On Tuesday this week 217 students converged on the Library to collect their GCSE results. Many of them will still be celebrating! Seventeen students passed all their GCSE exams with A*, A and B grades, a fantastic achievement. For five of these students, all their exam grades were A* and A, so particular congratulations go to Rhys Dore, Louise Kerr, Shannon Miller, Alexander Ward and Patrick Zhang.
Every student in the year group gained at least one GCSE qualification, and 98% of the students gained 5 GCSE passes, the highest percentage ever achieved by Budehaven. 68% of students achieved 5 GCSEs with the higher grades A*-C, and 58% of the year group gained 5A*-C grades including English and Maths, the key measure now used by the government; both figures, too, are the highest the school has recorded. Headteacher, David Barton was understandably delighted with the students’ success. ‘These results are excellent and I am thrilled that our students have done so well. I am particularly pleased with the results of those students who have not always found school easy and have sometimes found school work challenging. The fact that 98% of the whole year group have gained 5 or more GCSEs at grades A* - G is very pleasing indeed not only for the students but for their families as well.’
Jeremy Dowling, Chair of Governors was full of praise for the students’ achievements. ‘Students and staff have worked extremely hard. These GCSE results will prove a springboard for young peoples’ future success in the years to come.’
The majority of the year group are returning to Budehaven Sixth Form and enrolment for Budehaven’s Sixth Form takes place in the school Library on Wednesday, 1st September between 9.30 and 12.30.

 Sixth Form students at Budehaven Community School are once again celebrating an excellent set of post-16 results. A total of 92 students sat their exams this year, and the overall pass rate was 96.4%, with just over 68% of all exams taken graded at A*, A, B or C, with 45% achieving A*, A or B. For the first time this year, an A* grade has been introduced at A level. Headteacher, David Barton said that he was delighted that the hard work put in by the students and teachers had been so well rewarded. “I congratulate all the students on their achievements, and the school is very proud of them” he said. “The commitment shown by this year group throughout their school career has been impressive. I wish all the students every success in the future.”
