Smiles and celebrations – excellent GCSE results for Astley Students

Students at Astley Community High School are delighted with the results they received today.  

Many students will continue their studies in the Sixth Form at Astley, where a wide range of academic and vocational subjects are on offer, including STEM subjects such as Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics.  Vocational Courses include Business, Health and Social Care,  Applied Science and Travel.

Rachel C, Krish D, Katya K, Poppy R and Charlie W were excited to achieve the highest GCSE grades across their subjects and they are all returning to the school’s Sixth Form to study A Levels. There are students who are going onto local colleges to study subjects such as Forensic Science in preparation for future studies at University.  Aidan J is very pleased to have achieved excellent grades in English and Maths and hopes to study animation.

Head of School, Richard Goodman said:

“It is fantastic to see many students with excellent results and I am proud of the hard work and effort they put into their studies. The success also springs from the dedication and support that our staff have put in place. The results they have achieved will open the doors for the next stage in each student’s educational journey. It is clear that issues emanating from COVID over the past few years have impacted some of our students. We will continue to focus on their resilience to ensure they are as prepared as possible for the courses they study.”

Chair of Governors, Susan Dungworth commented:

“I am immensely proud of the results our students have achieved, they are a credit to themselves, their families and the school. They have achieved some excellent GCSE results, which are testament to their hard work over the last three years at Astley.”
