GCSE Results: Excellent results at QEGS Alford

Nearly half of all grades were the very top grades 9-7 (A*/A), and 93% of students gained eight or more good passes (9-5/A*-C).

Headteacher, Angie Francis, said: “This has been a challenging year for staff and students with so many new specifications and the changes in the grading system.

“I am really pleased for them that their hard work and determination have been rewarded. We look forward to these students joining our very successful sixth form and welcoming students from other schools too.

“Last week’s A Level results (74% A*-B), which placed us top in the county, together with this week’s very pleasing GCSEs, sustain our tradition of excellence within a very supportive climate.”
