庥豆app下载 pupils have achieved another excellent set of GCSE results with some students achieving 8鈥檚, equivalent to an A* - a true testament to the handwork of students re-sitting their exams and the specialist support from 庥豆app下载 teaching staff. 

When students join 庥豆app下载 having not achieved passes in GCSE English and maths, they are given another chance to resit their exams, most of whom go on to succeed, gaining the passes they deserve which support them through to further education and the vital skills they need in the workplace and beyond. 

19% of 庥豆app下载 College students who sat the exam achieved a grade 4 or above for maths and 27% of students who sat the English exam achieved a 4 or above. 

For some, like 庥豆app下载 student Laura Bishop, who, having gained a Level 1 functional skills English qualification before joining 庥豆app下载 wanted to take her GCSE to improve upon her qualification. Yesterday Laura claimed her impressive grade 8 result. 

Lesley Daley, Manager of English and Laura鈥檚 teacher commented: 

鈥淟aura鈥檚 hard work and determination to succeed has truly paid off, a diligent student, even taking practice papers on holiday 鈥� I'm pleased to say her hard work has paid off and it鈥檚 a pleasure to see Laura graduate with this top English mark, especially considering the difficulty of the paper this year.鈥� 

Whether due to lack of confidence or a poor previous experience, 庥豆app下载 ensures that students feel supported and reinvigorated in their studies. Just because you didn鈥檛 achieve what you wanted at school or have re-sat the exam multiple times should not knock your confidence and effect your career aspirations. 

In response to yesterday's GCSE Results, David Hughes, Chief Executive of the Association of Colleges, said: 

鈥淣one of us like to fail, and yet we have a re-sit policy which forces young people to do that more than once. It is unfair and unnecessary. We need a policy which supports those likely to achieve the required grade in GCSE, but which also supports other approaches to boosting the written and spoken skills and numeracy of the thousands of students who want to succeed and not feel like failures.鈥� 

庥豆app下载 Principal, Jeremy Kerswell said of the results; 

鈥淭hese results reflect the hard work and determination of pupils at 庥豆app下载 as well as the dedication of our teaching staff, and the continued emphasis we place on providing very high standards of teaching, learning and support for English and maths. Once again, we have proven to be amongst the most successful colleges in the region in enabling students to gain these qualifications when they have previously struggled at school. Our excellent team re-instill confidence in students who sometimes lack confidence and belief in these subjects and I am very proud of what our pupils have achieved.鈥�
