GCSE Results 2018
Loughborough Grammar School boys are celebrating the School’s best set of GCSE grades for 6 years. It was difficult for pupils and teachers alike to know what to expect as the new numerical grades were awarded for the first time in many subjects. However, as envelopes were opened and thrown into the air in delight, it was clear that performance had been outstanding across the curriculum. 65% of results were graded 7-9 (the equivalent of A*/A) with 86 of the 142 pupils achieving these top grades in at least 5 subjects.
The national press had warned that very few candidates would achieve top grades across the board under the new system, but 5 boys managed this incredible feat. In addition, no fewer than 40 boys achieved at least seven grades of 8 or 9.
- 15 boys achieved at least 8s or 9s in nine or more subjects
- 63 boys achieved at least 8s or 9s in five or more subjects
- 86 boys achieved at least 5 grades of 7-9 (equivalent of A*/A)
- 94 boys achieved grades 8 or 9 in Mathematics
- 59% of grades in Maths and Science were at grades 8 or 9 (equivalent to A*)
- 2/3rds of Art students achieved grade 8s and 9s
- 94 boys (out of 118) achieved A*/A in Chemistry
- 55% of History students achieved A* (83% achieved A*/A)
A fantastic achievement for all of Year 11!
