STAFF at LVS Ascot are happy with the results that its GCSE students have achieved.
Overall, more than a quarter of the results were A*, and virtually all grades were between A* and C (9-4).
This year’s A* (grades 9-8) rate at the London Road school is 26.6% – up from 17.56% last year and 7.1% in 2015.
Its A*-C (grades 9-4) rate is 97.2% this year, up from 85.67% last year and 78.9% in 2015.
The school said that despite the circumstances in which the grades were awarded, it had been expecting an increase due to a particularly strong Year 11 cohort this year.
School principal Christine Cunniffe said: “These are unprecedented times and despite the current situation, we are happy with the results our students have achieved.
“We appreciate there will be a number of students who will need additional support and guidance as they look at next steps for the future.
“All of our efforts here at LVS Ascot will be in channelled into continuing to providing one-to-one support sessions both in person and online.”
