GCSE CELEBRATIONS FOR THE CLASS OF 2014
Students from Groby Community College celebrated together today as they received their GCSE results. The excellent outcomes by the students reflect their hard work and the commitment of the families and staff who have supported them both at the college and at high school.
63% of students achieved the national benchmark of 5A*-C including English and Mathematics, up 3% on 2013. Students at the college sit all their exams at the end of Year 11 and therefore these excellent results have been achieved under the Government’s new standard where only the first entry counts.
In recognition of all students, we are pleased to announce that 70% of students achieved at least 5A*-C grade qualifications at GCSE and 96% 5A*-G.
A particular mention goes out to some of our highest performers in the 2014 examinations:
- Abbie Green – 7A*, 2A and a B at AS French
- Oliver Lawrence-Overy – 7A*, A and a B at AS French
- Connor Tebbatt – 7A* and 3A
- Anna Hibbitt – 6A*, 2A and a B at AS Creative Writing
- Rochelle Naismith – 7A* and 3A
There are many more students who achieved a similar performance with a significant number of top grades. Overall 28% of students achieved at least 3A* and A grades.

Thank you to all the parents and carers for their hard work and support for the students throughout their time at both high school and the college. These GCSE results reflect many years of hard work. A huge thanks must go to 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 at the college were thrilled to be able to share in the success of the students during Thursday's results day. The governors 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 2014.
