NHSG pupils’ exam joy as wait for GCSE results is over

Newcastle High School for Girls pupils (NHSG), parents and staff are celebrating after an outstanding set of GCSE results have been reported today.

One in four awarded grade 9
With an anxious wait for results day behind them, there have been jubilant scenes at the School where one in four grades awarded are at the very highest grade 9 and two thirds of grades are at Grade 7 – 9.

NHSG pupils and parents say that these impressive achievements feel all the more special because of the disruption to life caused by the pandemic, and they have expressed relief that NHSG pupils can now put the past behind and embrace the next stage of their education as they embark on a wide range of A Level courses.

 Mr Michael Tippett, Head Teacher at NHSG, said: 

“I am absolutely thrilled by today’s GCSE results which reflect our school’s continued excellent upward trajectory of public examination improvement.  I am also very proud of every one of our pupils who have worked so hard during these past years of challenge and uncertainty to achieve such outstanding grades.  We shouldn’t forget how difficult recent years have been and that these pupils didn’t even know if public examinations would actually go ahead this year until well into Year 11.“

 Mr Tippett added: 

“Our staff have been superb in supporting pupils during these unprecedented times and NHSG pupils have demonstrated remarkable resilience. I am so pleased therefore that, this year, pupils will be able to celebrate fully their very well deserved success, and I am looking forward to seeing them back in September for all the excitement that NHSG Sixth Form will bring.”
