GCSE students in Skegness delighted with exam results

Students and staff are celebrating at Skegness Grammar School, part of the David Ross Education Trust, as students receive their GCSE results.

Year 11 students sat their examinations earlier this year, in May and June, following months of preparation and extra support including structured after school data driven interventions, lunch time and after school sessions, revision and study skills sessions as well as an adaptive curriculum to support the needs of individual students.

Students across the country will have faced some disruption to their education over the past five years and SGS is proud of all the hard work and dedication students and staff have shown.

Among the many success stories this year:

· Isaac Li achieved an outstanding set of results with nine grade 9s, two grade 8s and an A in Additional Mathematics. His determination and self-belief enabled him to excel, even completing two qualifications beyond the standard curriculum.

· Jasmine Jagger secured eight grade 9s, one grade 8 and one grade 6. Her consistent work ethic throughout her time at SGS has been rewarded with excellent results. Jasmine will continue her studies at SGS Sixth Form, where she will take Biology, Physics and Mathematics.

· Amelia Szwarc also excelled, achieving five grade 9s, two grade 7s and four grade 6s. She will remain at SGS to study History, Religious Studies and Sociology at A-Level.

Skegness Grammar School is part of the David Ross Education Trust, which was established in 2007. It is a family of 36 primary and secondary schools with a mission to broaden the horizons of pupils through world-class education. The trust is committed to offering academic excellence, strong community links and outstanding extra-curricular opportunities to students.
