Class of 2017 Results

New Rickstones Academy students are celebrating personal triumphs as they open their exam results today.

The 2017 summer exam season saw students sitting the new Grade 9-1 GCSEs for the first time in Maths and English. Staff worked incredibly hard to prepare students for examinations that no one had sat or seen.

The Maths and English GCSEs were new exams with different content and exam paper styles. The new 9-1 numerical grades do not map across in a simple way to the A*-G grades. This dramatic break from what has gone before means that any comparison of this year’s GCSE Maths and English scores with previous years is meaningless. The headline figures incorporating Maths and English grades that schools have quoted in the past consequently cannot be used again.

The 9-1 grades that students have achieved in Maths and English and the A*-G grades for their other subjects will be used by the Department of Education to calculate Attainment 8 and Progress 8 figures for all schools. These will be available some time in the Autumn term.

New Rickstones Academy was particularly pleased with the success of students in music with 100% of students achieving A* to C. Drama continued to improve for the third year running with 91% of students gaining a grade A*-C. French and business also shone with 57% of students achieving A*-C in both subjects.
