A Level Graphics has been one of the fastest growing subjects at the college for the last few years but in 2011 and 2012 the work of the students has been recognised nationally.
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.
The highly successful and nationally renowned Assertive Mentoring scheme is to begin again this year with selected year 11 students.
Thank you to parents and carers for such positive feedback.
256 parents and carers were surveyed in October at the Tutor Target Setting Evening using our questionnaire. The questionnaire not only asks the questions that we want answers to, but it also asks those set by Ofsted.
A Level results at the college in 2012 have risen for the fourth year running. The average points that each A Level is awarded increased again this year, showing that the quality of outcomes overall are constantly improving.
22% of all grades received A*-A which is broadly in line with the national average for state schools. 46% of all grades achieved were at A*-B and the number of A*-C grades has reached an all time high of 77%.
After months of preparations and a lot of hard work on the part of the Base Leaders, Donna Bee, Jayne Jordan-Pearce, Zoe Meadowcroft and Ellie Yates, the College hosted its first on-campus year 11 prom on Thursday 31st May.
The 190 students who attended were met by the Front of House team and had to walk along the red carpet into college. The reception area had been transformed into a 5 star dining room, with all the balloons, tablecloths and decorations in the college colours. Food and drinks were served throughout the evening and Baz Jordan of JORDAN Road Surfacing and Planning Ltd supplied a chocolate fountain, which proved very popular with both students and staff!
