Congratulations to the pupils at All Saints Catholic School in York on their incredible GCSE results. The staff are very proud of what you have achieved.
Headteacher Sharon Keelan-Beardsley describes their GCSE outcomes as “phenomenal”, with pupils who have a variety of educational backgrounds performing at the highest level.
“There were many superb results in all areas and outcomes in every one of the core subjects, including English, Maths, Science and RE, were excellent,” said Mrs Keelan-Beardsley. “Pupils also excelled in French, Media and many other areas.
“Individually, there were numerous outstanding results, with pupils achieving top grades in all their subjects. Many pupils also made significant progress across their suite of GCSEs.
“Four pupils achieved an average progress score of more than three grades above what they would be predicted to achieve nationally in all their subjects.
“We are very proud of all our young people, and this year we are especially delighted that our pupils who under government measures are classed as disadvantaged have achieved particularly well.
“In fact, this group has made significantly more progress than their non disadvantaged pupils nationally.
“This shows that hard work, combined with excellent teaching and a caring and aspirational environment, really do make the difference.
“Our mission statement is that we are ambitious to educate the whole person to thrive personally, academically and spiritually. We believe that by delivering on these aspirations, our young people are well placed to face the future with confidence.
“We have a record number of applicants to our successful sixth form this year and we look forward to welcoming back many of the young people who have performed so well while at All Saints.
“On behalf of all the staff and governors at All Saints, I would like to thank our families for how they have worked with the school to help the pupils achieve these fantastic outcomes.”
