Rugby High School students are celebrating simply exceptional GCSE results today

After the great success of the school’s A-Level results last week, Rugby High School students are this week celebrating the fact that 28% of all grades awarded this year to RHS students was a grade 9, with well over half of all grades (56%!) being grades 9-8. A superb achievement for our students, families and the staff at RHS.
Head teacher Mark Grady said: “We could not be prouder of our students, receiving these results today. They have worked incredibly hard, and deserve every success. To have exceeded the number of grade 9s and 8s achieved last year and in 2019 is a superb effort. The school continues to go from strength to strength with these exceptional results.
The average grade achieved by our students was a grade 8 and with 4% more grade 9s than last year and 5% more grades 9-8 than last year. Students achieved nearly 10% more grades at 9-7 than last year.
In further fantastic news for our students, 8% of students gained eight grade 9s or more, 18% of students gained all grades 8 and 9 and 81% of all grades awarded were grades 9-7, 9% more grades at this level than last year.
Clearly, our students follow the motto of Rugby High School, and have set the highest of heights in their hearts. What wonderful success! It is a real testament to the quality of education students receive at RHS, and proof of our students’ determination and hard work to achieve the very best. We could not be happier for our students and their families, and they should be rightly proud of such outstanding results. Simply exceptional.
Once again, our outcomes prove that RHS is absolutely the place where you can rely on getting the very best grades and even more importantly, the support to ensure you can make successful next steps in life. This is a testament to the incredible work of our staff, and of course, the dedication and commitment of our students and families, working in partnership with us to gain the very best outcomes.
We are so proud of their efforts, and wish them every success in their next steps, the vast majority of whom will be stopping on to complete A-Levels at Rugby High School. We are quite simply overwhelmed at the success stories of our students.”
