Great results across GCSEs and A-levels at local schools
Young people across Royal Greenwich are celebrating strong GCSE and A-level results this summer.
At A-level, even more students achieved high grades overall, with increases in the number of A to B and A* to C grades. While final results are still being confirmed the pass rate looks to have improved in Royal Greenwich.
At GCSE level, nearly two-thirds of pupils secured a pass in both maths and English, with almost half achieved a strong pass (Grade 5 or above).
The results coming in so far highlight how well young people across Royal Greenwich have bounced back after the pandemic. Local secondary schools are going above and beyond to support students to achieve their goals.
Cllr Adel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People said: “Royal Greenwich is lucky to have lots of brilliant local secondary schools, filled with hard working teachers and wide, engaging curriculums. These results show that our young people truly can be Great in Greenwich.
“The hard work of students, with the support of their teachers and families, means more young people than ever are leaving school and sixth form ready for the future, whether they’re going on to further education, apprenticeships or heading straight into work. We are so proud of what they’ve achieved.”
The council continues to work closely with schools to raise aspirations and support young people in achieving their goals right here in the borough.
