Students celebrate GCSE success.
Tue 24 Aug, 2010
After the record achievements of its A level students, The Royal High School Bath GDST is celebrating further success this week with the publication of this year's GCSE results. 51% of pupils gained 9 or more A*/A grades and, overall, just under three quarters of the grades awarded to the girls were an A or A*. Seven students gained at least 10 A*s and Betsy Jones attained an astonishing 12 A* GCSEs.
Head of The Royal High School, Rebecca Dougall, is thrilled with the students' success: "GCSEs can seem a little overwhelming with students having to manage considerable workloads right across the curriculum. In addition this year group have been great ambassadors for our school, running the Houses, leading a uniform review and raising funds for charity; I am often baffled as to how they fit it all in! It is wonderful that all their hard work has paid off; we couldn't be more proud of them and look forward to welcoming them next week as A level and IB students in our sixth form college."
There was particular success for RHS Bath's scientists with 98% of Chemistry students and 94% of Biologists achieving A*-A grades which bodes well for the school's tradition of sending students to medical school.
