Students at Crompton House School are celebrating a strong set of GCSE and vocational results, published today, in the school's centennial year.

The school, which first opened its doors in 1926, said this year's results rank among its strongest in recent years, with particular success in English and Mathematics.

Headline figures show 74% of students achieved grades 4 and above in Maths and English, while 55% secured grades 5 and above. Some 13% of students gained grades 7 and above in those subjects, and 75% of all GCSEs were marked at grade 4 and above.

Among the school's highest-achieving students were Brandon Niala, Scarlett Hilton, Joseph Ash, Jake Lawless, Jenson Reeve, Eve Sanderson, Jack Robinson, Matthew Hudson and Reuben Moore.

A significant number of Year 11 students will return to Crompton House in September to continue their studies in the Sixth Form. The school said it wishes every success to those continuing their education, training or apprenticeships elsewhere.

Mrs Susanna Hegarty, Head of School, said she could not be prouder of this year's students.

"These are amongst the strongest GCSE results we have achieved at Crompton House, but for me, the numbers only tell part of the story," she said. "Behind every result is a young person who has worked hard, overcome challenges and been supported by staff who genuinely care about their success."

She added: "As a Church of England school, we want our young people to flourish in every sense, and seeing them achieve so much is a very special moment. I am incredibly proud of them, and immensely grateful to the staff and families who have helped them get here."

Karl Newell, Chief Executive Officer of Crompton House Multi-Academy Trust, said the results were a fitting reward for the students' hard work and determination.

"Behind every grade is an individual story of effort, perseverance and resilience, and we are incredibly proud of what our students have achieved," he said.

He added that the significant improvement across the school's headline measures reflected the dedication of teaching and support staff, who had worked tirelessly to help every student achieve their very best.
