Shipston High School students have achieved fantastic GCSE results this year. Students in year 11 worked extremely hard studying for their exams, and their commitment has been rewarded with impressive individual performances and strong results across the school. All students should be very proud. These results show the results of sustained hard work and the excellent progress students make at the school. I am delighted that these results empower students to go on to fulfil their ambitions in education, training and employment.

Shipston maintains its consistently strong record in core subjects. In English, 75% of students secured grades between 4 and 9, with 78% in Maths. Top grades have been secured across all subjects, including students with multiple grades at 7, 8 and 9. Students have achieved grade 9 across the subject range, showing a consistent high performance in a diverse range of subjects. As important as individual grades achieved is the impressive progress from students, with many exceeding their expected outcomes.

The school has a strong and consistent record of academic achievement. The school’s focus on quality education, and our work preparing students for adult life, will enable students to move onto a wide range of fulfilling careers. 2019 results demonstrate the strong academic focus of Shipston High School. Results day is also a day to remember the community spirit that supports our young people; students are encouraged and supported by their friends and family along with the school staff. All students should be congratulated. Well done to everyone.

Shipston High School’s work is centred on our students, and we are delighted to see so many strong results; they are a testimony to the ethos of the school and the dedication of our young people. Shipston students have once again excelled; congratulations.
