Sibford School GCSE results are the best on record but the true measure of success can be found in the life-skills and qualities that our pupils have developed during such an unusual year.
Sibford School Head, Toby Spence said: "This has been an exceptionally unusual year and today is about something much more than statistics and grades. Sibford School pupils, and staff worked exceptionally hard both before and during lockdown to ensure that real learning continued. Yes, grades are important but the determination, grit, resilience and creativity of our community is what has truly shone through. For example, the manner in which Year 11 pupils engaged with our teaching after Easter and thence our Sixth Form preparation courses which we offered during the summer term was quite inspiring.
Toby continues “What is a particular pleasure are the strong set of grades across all subject areas – from the creative arts to humanities and STEM subjects - underpinning the breadth of talent we have across our holistic curriculum. As a community we can be proud of how we responded to the circumstances and I am delighted by the outcomes for our pupils.”
Overall, top tier grades (8 or 9) were received in a total of 22 subjects, with over 40% of pupils achieved at least one grade 8 or 9. 100% of pupils gaining five or more grades at 9 – 4 (or A* - C).
