Bumper year for Brigg’s Sir John Nelthorpe School
STUDENTS at Sir John Nelthorpe School in Brigg have achieved outstanding GCSE results, with 75 per cent gaining five or more passes at A*-C including English and mathematics and 92 per cent of the students achieving five or more GCSE passes at A*-C.
Headteacher Mrs Hewlett-Parker said: “These results are exceptional; our students have excelled this year.
“As our specialist subjects are mathematics and science we are particularly pleased that a phenomenal 90 per cent achieved an A*-C grade.”
Science has also had a bumper year, with 96 per cent of students passing two or more science subjects at grade C or above, with many other subjects also making significant increases this year.
“This is a reflection of the expertise and dedication of our staff,” added Mrs Hewlett-Parker.
“They have high expectations of all our students and achieve them.
“We anticipate a high number will return to the sixth form to continue their studies with us in September.”
There were exceptional individual student results - Kimberley McDonald passed 12 subjects at A*, with Benjamin Jowett and Lucy Thomas each passing nine subjects at A* and two at A grade.
Mrs Hewlett-Parker said: ”I am proud of all the students.
“They have worked extremely hard to achieve their target grades at all levels.
“It has been a bumper year for Sir John Nelthorpe School as last week the A level students in the sixth form achieved a 100 per cent pass rate.”
