Aureus Celebrates Impressive GCSE Results

 

Aureus staff and students are celebrating their best ever GCSE results, with significant improvements across English and Maths as well as the overall attainment across all subjects. On average, the grades attained this year were half a grade higher across the board than the previous year.  

This year’s results saw 7% more students achieving Grade 4 or above in both English and maths 11% more students achieving Grade 5 or above in both subjects and 7% more students achieving Grade 7 or above in both English and maths compared with previous years.

 

 

The results represent the culmination of a sustained period of improvement since Kirsty Rogers joined the school as Headteacher in 2023. Over the past three years, the school has focused relentlessly on raising standards, strengthening teaching and learning, and ensuring every student is supported to achieve. This year’s outcomes demonstrate the success of that strategy and marks a significant milestone in the school’s journey. 

Staff have had the opportunity today to celebrate with the students and thank their families for building such a strong home/school partnership to ensure the success of their children.
