ANOTHER OUTSTANDING GCSE YEAR FOR FERNDOWN UPPER STUDENTS

Ferndown Upper students are celebrating another successful round of GCSE results this morning.

In fact, more than 80% gained grade 4s and above and over 60% of students gained a grade 5 or higher, when this is coupled with the fact that 20% of students gained the top grades, it puts the students’ hard work into perspective.

Amongst those celebrating today include:

Katie Lloyd-Burrell; six 9s, one 8, two 7s and a 6.

Lauren Harman; four 9s, five 8s and a 6.

Daria Rampelt; three 9s, five 8s and two 7s.

Many of the Year 11s will now be preparing to return to the school’s Sixth Form, where they will be hoping to replicate today’s success in their A Level studies, replicating this year’s Sixth Form leavers, who marked their own excellent exam performances last week.

‘All of my hardwork has paid off, thank you for all your help and making us do us extra revision – it worked!’

‘I’m very happy and off to Bournemouth and Poole College for Automotive Apprenticeship hopefully linked to Porsche!’

‘I did better than my sister and I’m now mum’s favourite. I can’t wait to come back to Ferndown Upper Sixth Form for Biology and Double PE.’

Philip Jones, Headteacher, said:

“There have been some brilliant GCSE achievements today both for individual students and across the whole year group, following an equally successful A Level results day last week.

“I would like to congratulate these young people for their hard work and dedication and the way each of them has contributed to our school community alongside their academic learning. I would also like to thank our wonderful staff for the time and support they have provided our students, this has been a real team effort.”
