A huge congratulation goes out to the students of Groby Community College who finished Year 11 this summer. They came into college on Thursday 23 August to collect the highest results the college has seen in its history. 94% of students achieved the national benchmark of 5A*-C at GCSE.

The nationally recognised measurement of 5A*-C including English and mathematics rose 9% from 53% in 2011 to 62% this year.

In recognition of all students, we are pleased to announce that 99% of students achieved at least 5A*-G.

A particular mention goes out to our highest performers:

• Ellen Ormerod – 10.5 A*. As French B
• Alice Mallinder – 9.5 A*, 2 A. As French  A
• Charlotte Hiscocks – 7.5 A*, 3 A, 2 B, 1 C.As French D
• William Murfitt – 8 A*, 3.5 A. As French B
• Olivia Taylor – 8 A*, 2 A. AS French B
• Rebecca Ford – 7 A*, 3.5 A
• Satchin Mistry – 6.5 A*, 4 A. As French C
• Alexander Bradley – 6 A*, 2 A, 2.5 B

Thank you to all of the parents and carers for their hard work and support for the students throughout their compulsory education. These GCSE results reflect many years of hard work. I would also like to thank the dedication of the staff at Brookvale High School, South Charnwood High School and the other feeder schools for the superb grounding that each student receives before they arrive at the college.

The staff of the college were thrilled to be able to share in the success of the students during Thursday's results day. The governors and I would like to thank each and every member of staff for their hard work and dedication to the students.

Well done to the class of 2012.
