CARRICKFERGUS GRAMMAR SCHOOL YIELDS MOST IMPRESSIVE RESULTS EVER AT GCSE

​

98% of pupils at Carrickfergus Grammar School achieved 7 or more A*-C grades at GCSE. Three-quarters of pupils attained 7+ A*-B grades including English and Mathematics, with 45 pupils achieving 7+ A*-A grades. Over half the grades awarded at the school were A*/A, rising again by over 2% from last year.

​

Speaking after the distribution of results, Principal James Maxwell said: “We always knew that our GCSE cohort was exceptionally strong academically. These results are a testament to what can happen when teachers, parents and pupils work together in partnership to achieve high outcomes. The very significant success of our pupils reflects their hard work, determination and willingness to succeed. It is also symbolic of this school’s unrelenting focus on high standards in all aspects of school life, and the pursuit of high quality classroom teaching”.

​

Particular congratulations to Kai Bennett, Esther Bovill, Evie Dorrian, Rhys Ellis, David Eyambe, Kayden Kilbride, Jude Kingston, Niamh McKinney, Julia McMillan, Gemma Moore, Eloise Russell, Megan Sproule, Sarah Totton, Caleb Turner, Anna Wright and Issac Yau who all achieved straight ‘A’ grades.

Jude Kingston achieved 11 A* grades, and Esther Bovill attained 10 A* grades.

​

Mr Maxwell continued: “A number of our GCSE students faced ill health and bereavement over the course of their GCSE journey. I would want to convey our utter pride and admiration at how those pupils have achieved.

​

I also wish to pay great tribute to the Governors, teachers and support staff of Carrickfergus Grammar School who have prepared pupils so admirably for public examinations.”
