GCSE Results

The Gilberd Celebrates its BEST EVER RESULTS!

The Gilberd School is delighted to announce that this year’s GCSE results are the best the school has ever achieved.

70% of Year 11 students gained 5 A* to C with English and Maths

76% of Year 11 students gained 5 A* to C

100% of Year 11 students gained at least 1 A* to G

Headteacher Linda Exley said, “These results are excellent; we feel they are a wonderful reward for all the hard work, effort and dedication of our students.”

“The school is very proud of these achievements in particular the close relationship between the overall results and the 5 A* to C including English and Maths; we feel this reflects the high standards achieved across the curriculum. “We are also especially pleased that every student at the school gained a qualification.”

“We are delighted with these results and feel they give our students a firm foundation for future success.”

Provisional results slips from the examining boards will be sent out to students at the end of the week (Friday 27th August). Unfortunately students will not be able to collect them in person.

Students in Year 9 and Year 10 who have taken GCSE units will receive their results for their subjects on return to school in September.

IMPORTANT FACEBOOK ANNOUNCEMENT!

Launched on 12th July, all young users of Facebook – and their parents – are invited to add the new ClickCEOP ‘app’ to their profile. Through this app, they will be able to access advice, help and support from the CEOP Centre. Crucially, young people will be able to report instances of suspected grooming or inappropriate sexual behaviour directly from their profile to specially trained investigators.

The ‘app’ is the outcome of collaboration between CEOP and Facebook who have combined Facebook’s expertise in connecting and communicating online with CEOP’s expertise in helping young people stay safe.

Once added to their profiles, young users will receive regular messages from CEOP and its partner organisations who operate ‘behind the button’ to make children safer. CEOP’s new Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ClickCEOP) will also contain polls, news alerts and status updates. The page will look at topics that teenagers care about, such as celebrities, music and exams and will link these subjects to questions about online safety.

Users can either add or bookmark the ‘app’ so it appears on their profile, as not only a constant source of help and reassurance for them but also as a strong visual signal to their friends, family and others that they are in control online.
