GCSE league tables

GCSE league tables

My school, ST Mary's in Longbenton performed pathetically!

Only 23% of students got 5 A-C grades including english and maths. My lasses got 100%.

Check yours. You'll have to use the links on the page to go to your area though. This link is Newcastle area schools.

Re: GCSE league tables

Your girlfriend has just done her GCSE's?

Mine was about average.

It's interesting though, looking at those listings, both at different areas of the North East and different regions throughout the ountry, it's always the independent schools at the top. Obviously this is to be expected, but it has to go some way to silence the critics of private education.

My old school got 72%. Only 4 schools scored higher in the area, and 3 of them are private schools, so I suppose its not too bad.

53% of my school got 5 A-Cs

mine has a 62% pass rate which is ok i suppose my boyfriends school is 3rd from the bottom in the whole of north yorkshire

Ryton comp #51 :finger:

now you all know where my sophisticated banter comes from

Possibly, although the fact that I did them a year ago considerably dampens the "status". So where did you go to school Rossy? St martin's? Tell Scotty i said hello

Mine got 55% under the new way of measuring things. I thought that was a bit crap really. Always thought I had gone to a pretty good school! Obviously it's gone down hill since I left

98% and number 1 as usual.

All Saints College, 3% hahahah

What a school that must be.

Where?

18% Amazing

RGS

Not another one

Although one thing I'll give RGS credit for is the fact that they appear to train very good musicians. Canny few famous Geordie musicians/DJs went to RGS; Freeform Five, Jon Lisle, Riton, etc.

pretty certain none of them did music classes at RGS

Which is even more mad, really. Although didn't you say that Anu used to do stuff with his band at your school?

Still, fair play to them, at least they're churning out people who do something of note. I believe the most famous person to attend my school, or at least a precursor to it, was Paul Gascoigne. Inspiring.
