Principal Ruth Wilkes reports on GCSE results of Castle Newnham students: “We are delighted to be sharing Castle Newnham’s first full set of GCSE results this morning after two years of no exams.
“Our students have been full of smiles this morning, achieving results at or beyond expectations and, most importantly, able to progress to some fantastic courses of their choice with local sixth forms and other providers.
“We are so pleased for students and families where achievement has been against all the odds and young people who have shown terrific resilience and determination even in the most difficult of circumstances. Of particular note are the following top-class results:
Noor Yasir 8 x grade 9 and 1 x grade 8
Talal Shaikh 7 x grade 9 and 2 x grade 8
“Also achieving a whole range of the highest grades are Mati Kurczynsky (who also achieved ‘A’ in Additional Maths), Mia-Rae Daniel, Daisy Shewry, Polly Smith, Flo Wood and Olivia Hoskin.
“Last week we were overjoyed to learn of our Class of 2020 and some magnificent A-level results and plans for further and higher education. With the interruptions of the pandemic behind us we now look forward to going on from success to success with our present and future cohorts.
