Holmleigh Park students are celebrating their GCSE results today, with the school achieving its highest-ever number of Grade 7+ results and increased year-on-year attainment across a range of measures.

The results represent a significant achievement for students across Holmleigh Park, with many students securing excellent individual outcomes and strong results across a wide range of subjects. This reflects the hard work, determination and resilience of students, alongside the dedication of staff who have supported them throughout their GCSE journey.

Celebrating individual success

Jac Griffiths achieved an outstanding seven Grade 9s, including Grade 9s in Mathematics and Triple Science, alongside a Grade 8.

Jac said:

“I am very relieved, and so happy with all my grades. I did lots and lots of past paper practice and it has all paid off. My teachers have supported me all the way along the past two years.”

Maryam Hassan achieved five Grade 9s, including Grade 9s in both English Language and English Literature and Religious Studies, alongside four Grade 8s.

Maryam said:

“I was shaking when I opened up my envelope. My advice to the next set of Year 11 students is to get prepared early and make Year 10 count. I am intending to apply to the University of Oxford after A Levels.”

Preston Brazil-Herbert achieved five Grade 9s, including Grade 9s in Mathematics and Combined Science, alongside three Grade 8s.

Preston said:

“So happy to have achieved such a strong outcome and I am particularly happy with my Grade 9 in Maths. My teachers were so encouraging to me and have helped me to work hard.”

Khurshid Noori achieved five Grade 9s, including Grade 9s in Triple Science and Computer Science, alongside three Grade 8s.

Khurshid said:

“I was expecting the results, because I worked so hard for them, but it was so exciting to see them. My teachers supported me so well across the two years and my advice to future Year 11 students is to learn all the content in Year 10 the first time so you have an advantage in Year 11.”

Headteacher celebrates students and staff

Headteacher Dan Hudson said:

“I am incredibly proud of all of our Year 11 students and what they have achieved today. There are so many individual successes to celebrate, and it has been fantastic this morning to see the pride on students’ faces as they open their results and begin to think about their next steps.

“These results represent a significant achievement for our students. We have achieved our highest-ever number of Grade 7+ results and, importantly, have seen increased attainment year-on-year across a range of measures. Behind those headline figures are the individual stories of students working hard, overcoming challenges and achieving results of which they can be proud.

“I would like to thank all of our teachers and support staff for their commitment to our students over the past two years. Their hard work, alongside the determination of our Year 11 students, has helped so many young people achieve their potential.

“I wish all of our Year 11 students every success for their next steps. We look forward to welcoming many of them to Holmleigh Park Sixth Form in September, while we wish those moving on to colleges, apprenticeships, employment and other destinations the very best for the future.”
