GCSE results success

Concord’s GCSE students have been celebrating their results this morning. The Form 5 Class of 2024 achieved fantastic GCSEs with well over half of all grades at the highest possible grade 9. An incredible 79% of grades were 8 or 9 – equivalent to the old A* grade – and 55% of students in the year gained 9 or more 8/9 grades each.

Principal Dr Michael Truss was delighted that the College’s results were once again outstanding: “Our GCSE students work hard across a wide range of subjects and I’m delighted to see their hard work rewarded.

“Concord’s staff are tireless in their support of our students in their ambitions. Seeing how well these young people have taken every opportunity they have had has been a great pleasure.”

Echoing the sentiment, Head of Lower School Ms Sue Correll said: “Our students have shown extremely high levels of diligence to achieve such superb GCSE results and as a cohort they are creative, innovative, ambitious and resilient.

“ They have supported each other admirably this year, and they enter the next stage of their education with both excellent qualifications and an international perspective, with close friends from every part of the globe.”
