GCSE Students Smash National Benchmark
Students taking English GCSEs at Weston College have smashed national benchmarks with exceptionally high pass rates.
Of the 23 students who took their GCSE English exam before Christmas, 20 achieved a grade C or above, putting the pass rate at 87% – miles ahead of the 27% national benchmark.
The students were a combination of new learners to the College and returning learners, who have previously failed to obtain the C grade required to progress to further education.
These results are a huge cause for celebration, and go to show how Weston College supports its learners to achieve.
Kelly O’Connor, Subject Area Manager for GCSE English, said: “These results just go to show how hard work really can pay off.
“I’m immensely proud of my students and am confident that they have paved their way to successful futures.”
Weston College offers several options to support learners who have previously not taken GCSE English, or haven’t achieved a C grade.
