Ipswich School celebrates another excellent set of exam results

Ipswich School’s new Head, Nick Gregory, who started at the school this week, said he was delighted with the excellent set of GCSE results recorded today.

Nick Gregory said:“Across a year group of almost 140 pupils, it is fantastic to see that over two-thirds of all exams have been graded at 7, 8 or 9. These best-ever GCSE exam results, coming after last week’s record A Level results, are across the full range of our 23 subjects, from performing and creative arts to STEM.”

The GCSE results show 22% of exams at grade 9, 42% at grades 9 and 8, and 67% of exams at grades 9-7. 38 students achieved all their GCSE exams at grades 9-7, and 100% of pupils achieved at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and Maths.

Andrew Bradshaw, Head of Middle School, said: “It has been lovely this morning to see our wonderful Year 11 students back in school and to celebrate their GCSE results with them - many of whom I have known since they were in our Prep School. Their energy, creativity, ambition and passion have enriched our community here for five years in the Senior School, and their results today are so richly deserved.

“I wish them every success in their Sixth Form careers and beyond. Well done Year 11 - I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and I know that you have bright futures ahead!”
