Welcome to my GCSE Results blog special. I hope you and your family are having a pleasant Summer holiday.
As you will be aware, students across England received their GCSE results on Thursday 24 August and our year 11 students were waiting with baited breath at 9am ready to celebrate.
Although the pictures below will never provide the true atmosphere of the event, they certainly provide an insight into the joy and emotions felt by the students and their families.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 students and congratulate them on another superb set of GCSE results at Lordswood Boys' School.
There are so many brilliant outcomes, too many to mention here - however, some of the headlines can be seen below:
100% of students achieved grades 9-4 in GCSE Chemistry and Physics.
67% of students achieved grades 9-4 in GCSE English.
51 % of students achieved grades 9-5 in GCSE English & Maths.
Standout Student Performance
Chak Raza - 8 Grade 9s and 1 Grade 8
Shahriar Karimaghai - 2 Grade 9s, 5 Grade 8s and 2 Grade 7s.
Aden Ali - 2 Grade 9s, 1 Grade 8 and 5 Grade 7s.

Overall, 23% of this year's GCSE grades at Lordswood Boys' School were marked at Grade 6 or above.
