Groby Community College is pleased to announce a strong set of GCSE results from the class of 2013.

The college has increased the number of good GCSE passes for the 3rd year running to 96% 5A*-C in 2013 (up 2% from 2012). The 5A*-C with English and Maths measure is slightly lower than in 2012 at 60% although this mirrors the national picture.

Overall results per student are higher with the capped point score rising meaning that overall the best 8 GCSEs for each student are of a better quality. This means that every student , whatever their ability or background, is achieving really well.

 
There are a number of individual successes including:

• Callum Tebbatt with 13 As and A*s
• Phoebe Coleman with 12 As and A*s
• Antony Bennett with 11As and A*s

The college has bucked the national trend for GCSE Science with 71% of the current Year 10 achieving A*-C at the end of the first year.

Robert Coles, Principal said that he ’was thrilled for the students and staff who have worked incredibly hard to get these results against a backdrop of changes and shifting grade boundaries.  Many of the students put in hours of extra work at college and at home to achieve these results and deserve the success.’
